Course Description
This intermediate course teaches modelers how to build a complete model in TM1 mainly using the Performance Modeler tool. Through a series of lectures and hands-on exercises, you will learn how to create and customize dimensions and cubes, import and link data, and build and maintain applications.
 While class exercises are performed within a TM1 v10.2 environment, our expert instructors can provide guidance on all versions including IBM Planning Analytics and their differences.
 Note: This training was developed using IBM Cognos TM1 v10.2 but is applicable to both IBM Cognos TM1 v10.2 and IBM Planning Analytics.
