• Key Concepts: 
  A cluster key is a type of key used in SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise (BI-BIP-BOE) to group related data together. It is used to identify and organize data into clusters, which can then be used for analysis and reporting. The cluster key is typically composed of one or more fields from the underlying data source. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use a cluster key, first select the fields from the underlying data source that you want to use as the cluster key. Then, create a new cluster key in the BusinessObjects Enterprise system and assign the selected fields to it. Finally, use the cluster key to group related data together for analysis and reporting. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a cluster key, it is important to select fields that are related to each other and that will provide meaningful insights when grouped together. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the data in the selected fields is consistent across all records in order for the cluster key to be effective. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Cluster keys are similar to other types of keys such as primary keys and foreign keys. However, unlike primary keys and foreign keys, which are used to uniquely identify records in a database, cluster keys are used to group related data together for analysis and reporting purposes.
