Everyone wants dashboards! As soon as users get what they want they want more, and this is a good thing. Creating flexible, interactive dashboards that leverage the power of Microsoft BI architecture is easy, but how can you achieve flexibility and functionality in your dashboards with less code, less effort, and less rework when your user requirements evolve? This session covers some techniques to ensure that when new requirements emerge (and they will) your dashboards and the elements that make them up can adapt gracefully. If you're already experienced at creating dashboards, come and learn how to really make them sing and dance. Good element functionality and reusability comes from simplicity, consistency, and well-defined metadata. We explore some of the simple ways to get the very most out of your dashboards by building them using elements that are flexible, reusable, and meta data rich. Do you like MDX? Good! We also cover some of the ways MDX provides powerful flexibility to Monitoring and Analytical solutions including functionality provided by new features in Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services 2008. Attendees should be familiar with concepts surrounding basic dashboard creation with Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server, SQL Server Analysis Services, and MDX.
