I am new to the Insider Learning Network and have a few quick questions. How do I register for the Xcelsius authorities: Ask dashboard experts forum Tuesday, January 24? For this forum, I am interested in the process of setting up a dashboard, how do you recommend selecting the critical few metrics to monitor? How can the dashboard provide meaningful insights on your business, be drillable and be simple to administer and update? Althought we have SAP in our company, it has not yet been deployed in our business unit, but I would love your insights about the broader questions outlining an approach to setting up a dashboard. Thank you for the help. Steve

Can you confirm the process for publishing dashboards to users via the BI launch pad, where the dashboard is fed from BW data with a BICS data connection. The process does not seem as simple as publishing say a Crystal report with a BW BICS data connector. Would be keen to understand if there any user or technical issues that I should be aware of. Thanks Phil

In the current release, Dashboards using the BICS data connection is published directly into the SAP Portal and not into BI launch pad. Direct publishing into BI launch pad is planned for the next release.

I think we could have set this up as a conference call and it would have been much more user friendly. Using the forum to host this kind of event renders it useless in my opinion. There are any number of tools I could've tought of that could have made this thing work (or work better)
