Smart SAP Assistant

• Key Concepts: 
  Linked universes are a feature of SAP BusinessObjects Information Design Tool (IDT) that allows users to create a single universe from multiple existing universes. This allows users to combine data from different sources into one universe, making it easier to create reports and analyze data. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create a linked universe, users must first create the individual universes that will be linked together. Once the universes have been created, users can then link them together in IDT. This is done by selecting the “Linked Universe” option in the “Create” menu. From there, users can select the universes they want to link together and specify how they should be linked. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a linked universe, it is important to make sure that all of the universes being linked together have compatible data types and structures. If the data types and structures are not compatible, then the linked universe will not work properly. Additionally, it is important to make sure that all of the universes being linked together have been properly tested and validated before linking them together.
