• Key Concepts: 
  The Information Design Tool (IDT) is a component of the SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BI) platform. It is a graphical user interface (GUI) that enables users to create and manage data models for reporting and analysis. IDT allows users to create universes, which are semantic layers that provide a single source of data for reporting and analysis. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Using IDT, users can create universes by connecting to data sources such as databases, spreadsheets, and text files. Once connected, users can define the structure of the universe by creating classes, objects, and hierarchies. They can also define relationships between objects and apply security settings. Once the universe is created, users can use it to create reports and dashboards in SAP BusinessObjects BI tools such as Web Intelligence and Crystal Reports. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating universes in IDT, it is important to ensure that the data model is accurate and up-to-date. This will ensure that reports created using the universe are accurate and reliable. It is also important to ensure that security settings are properly configured to ensure that only authorized users have access to sensitive data.
