MicroStrategy Analytics Modules are a set of packaged analytic components built using the MicroStrategy platform. The modules can be mapped to a different warehouse, or used as starter kits to develop custom applications, or simply as a source of reporting ideas for designing effective grid reports, graph reports, documents, and dashboards.

The following modules are available:

• Customer Analysis Module
• Sales Force Analysis Module
  
• Financial Reporting Analysis Module
  
• Sales and Distribution Analysis Module
  
• Human Resources Analysis Module

Each module consists of the following:

• Project metadata configured to work with the demonstration warehouse that contains the projects. These projects are tuned for a Microsoft Access warehouse. The Installation and Porting Guide provides details and guidelines on how to use this metadata with other warehouses in different databases.
• Demo warehouses in Microsoft Access, one for each module, allow evaluation and development without having to set up a warehouse.
• Reference Guide is the master document for each of the modules. The document includes details of each report, listings of metrics, attributes, and other objects, the logical data model, and a data dictionary.
• Physical Data Model is the default schema in Erwin format that can be used to generate scripts for creating tables and/or as an initial design for a new data warehouse.

For information about each module and how to install and port sample BI applications, see the Documentation page for the MicroStrategy Analytics Modules.

For a complete list of MicroStrategy product manuals, refer to the Product Manuals page.

MicroStrategy Analytics Modules also includes the Project Mover tool. This tool allows you to transfer the metadata and warehouse of the MicroStrategy Tutorial demo project or the MicroStrategy Analytics Modules from their Microsoft Access source to any MicroStrategy-certified database platform. In addition, it configures the project so that you can connect to the exported project immediately with MicroStrategy Developer.

For information on how to use Project Mover and about the tasks you can perform with it, refer to the System Administration Guide.

MicroStrategy Tutorial

The MicroStrategy Tutorial is an interactive product demonstration, included with the MicroStrategy Analytics Modules, designed to showcase the rich functionality of the MicroStrategy 9 Platform. The Tutorial is comprised of a MicroStrategy project, "MicroStrategy Tutorial" (a metadata and sample data are included). This project contains out-of-the-box reports to demonstrate the various features of MicroStrategy .

Sample reports can be accessed in the Public Objects\Reports folder. For more information on configuring and using the project, refer to the Introduction to MicroStrategy: Evaluation Guide.
