SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies the process of creating and understanding Business Intelligence (BI) models within the InterSystems IRIS data platform, enabling users to effectively query and analyze their data.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Model Creation: Guides users through creating cubes, subject areas, dimensions, hierarchies, levels, properties, and measures.
  • Data Analysis: Facilitates the use of tools like the Analyzer and Architect for data exploration and visualization.
  • Use Case: A business analyst needs to create a dashboard to track sales performance. This Skill helps them define the necessary data structures (cubes and dimensions) in InterSystems IRIS to support the dashboard's metrics and filters.

Quick Start

Use the defining-models skill to learn how to create a new cube definition in the Architect.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create BI models and define cubes in InterSystems IRIS?▼

To create BI models in InterSystems IRIS, use the Architect tool to define cubes, subject areas, dimensions, hierarchies, levels, properties, and measures. This structures your data for efficient querying and visualization in the Analyzer.

What are dimensions and measures in InterSystems IRIS Business Intelligence?▼

Dimensions and measures are structural components of BI cubes in InterSystems IRIS. Dimensions organize data into hierarchies and levels for filtering, while measures provide the quantitative values analyzed and aggregated for reporting.

Can I use the Architect tool to build subject areas for data analysis?▼

Yes, you can use the Architect tool to build subject areas in InterSystems IRIS. Subject areas allow you to create focused subsets of cube definitions, tailoring specific data views for targeted analysis and reporting.

What is the best way to structure data for dashboards in InterSystems IRIS?▼

The best way to structure data for dashboards in InterSystems IRIS is by defining BI cubes. You define dimensions for filtering and measures for metrics, which enables the Analyzer to efficiently query and visualize the tracked performance data.

Do I need to define hierarchies and levels for business intelligence in InterSystems IRIS?▼

Yes, defining hierarchies and levels is required for business intelligence in InterSystems IRIS. Hierarchies organize dimensions into structured levels, enabling users to drill down and navigate data relationships smoothly during analysis.
