Collection Management Services

Information on Collection Management Services and Operations

Tips

  1. When adding the Analytics Object, the type has to be the same as the type in Analytics
  2. Even though you can save an analysis report with characters such as ()"& in the file name and it lets you make an Analytics Object to that file path, it will not run because of the special characters
  3. You can make an analysis with multiple Subjects but these conditions must be met:
  • There must be at least one common dimension among the two subject areas
  • Descriptive fields must come from the common dimension(s)
  • Measures will come from the facts
