Business Areas

Information in the Data Warehouse is organized into different business areas. From this level, you can follow two different paths to learn more about the data and how to report on it.

Clicking on an item under the Reports column will show you pre-existing reports that you can view and download that are made from data in that business area.

Clicking on an item under Stars will show you the table groups, or stars, in each business area. From there, you can drill down further in the structure to reveal what tables and fields are in each table group. This path will reveal table and field definitions.
