We walk the student through the installation of SAP Lumira Discovery. How to download, install, uninstall and update the client tool.

Detailed description of the elements in the SAP Lumira Client tool interface. The student will be able to identify where the options and features are, including the home page, menu, tool bar and the different views that the tool provides (data, design and preview).

This class is a mix between a lecture and an exercise. You will create your first Lumira Discovery story based on Excel file. You will know how to acquire data, manipulate and create a simple story.

In this short lecture, you will learn how to change the default location of Lumira documents folder.

All Lumira Discovery documents start acquiring data from a variety of data sources. Students will learn the range of data sources and how to connect to them.

We cover in this lecture: SAP BW, SAP HANA, SAP Universes and Queries with SQL.

A section with limitations is provided to know the restrictions for BW and Universes.

Continuation of previous lecture. In this one, we discuss the rest of the data sources: Microsoft Excel, text files, Windows clipboard and extensions. Also, a section with limitations is provided.

Continuation of acquiring data sources. In this one, we learn how to connect the tool with HANA Live data source.

Bonus video where you will learn how to connect with SAP HANA using Query with SQL option.

This lecture covers everything about refreshing  and editing a data set. Also you will know how to edit the connection parameters, for instance, the path of a excel data source or data base parameters from query with sql data source.

Understanding the various type of connections that SAP Lumira Discover offers: live and import.  Comparison of them and recommendations of which to use based on the final requirements.

Let's practice how to acquire data with SAP Lumira Discovery. This exercise is based on Excel files.

You will learn how to analyze data in the data view section. The class shows all the ways to understand the data with the Grid and Facet view and introduces all the actions that users can perform, such as sort, filter, etc.

In this lecture, we teach how to manipulate and enrich your data and explain the actions that you saw in the previous class (sort, rename, etc.). Also, the student will learn how to create hierarchies:

• Date/time

• Custom hierarchy

• Geographical by names or latitude/longitude.

Continuation of the previous class. In this one, you will study how to create new calculated objects with dimensions and measures. Also, you will see how to build formulas and how to use the functions that the tool provides.

In this class, you are learning how to merge, append and link data sets in order to use in the same visualization component. Take advantage of all the capabilities of SAP Lumira Discover!

You are just about to practice how to create new objects, custom hierarchies, geographical ones and some data actions. Also, you will add several visualizations components.

Try by yourself before watching the video!

You are just about to practice how to use advanced calculations and formulas and you will add them in some charts.

Please, try by yourself before watching the video! You can download the solution document if you have problem or issues. And remember to ask me anything you need.

Let's practice now how to merge, append and link datasets and let's use in some visualization components!

Please, try by yourself before watching the video!

In this lecture, we explain the canvas, where you will create your data stories, and the chart builder feature.

In this lecture, we will work with the most common analytical component in business intelligence field: the crosstab.

In this lecture, you will learn about the different type of charts (comparison, percentage, correlation and trend) and how to create them in the chart builder.

In this lecture, you will learn about chart properties and visualization formatting (title, background colors, data labels, number format, etc.). Also, I will show you how to add reference lines, calculations and conditional formatting rules to all the components.

Hands on exercise for visualizations. You will create a variety of charts and a crosstab. Let's use calculations, reference lines, conditional formatting and formatting options, as well.

In this lecture, I will explain you different types of maps and how to set up the properties, layers and formatting options. Also, we talk about the limitations of this component.

With ArcGIS integrated in SAP Lumira Discovery you can now enable your geo data with intuitive mapping and analytical tools.

More information about ArcGIS: https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-online/overview

Hands on exercise for geo map. Let's create several geo maps adding all the layers: choropleth, bubbles, pie charts and markers.

At this point of the course you know everything about visualizations and you are ready to learn about linking datasets in Lumira Discovery. Also, how to link visualizations to interact with your data across visualization components.

You will work with all the filters that Lumira Discovery provides: filter to datasets, pages, story, visualizations, filter by linked analysis, filters by hierarchy, by rank and filters by measure. Besides, you will learn the input controls, interactive filters that the user can use in your data stories.

It is time to create amazing data stories using all the elements in the canvas: text, hyperlinks, shapes, pictures, icons and colors to successfully communicate your message.

In this lecture I will show you a real dashboard that I am using to report my managers and directors. The data has been modified avoiding real names and real numbers, keeping the layout and all the capabilities of the data story.

This is a small project. You have to create a data story with the scenario described in the instructions provided. I will review your document and deliver my feedback.

In this lesson, you will learn the capabilities to export data and visualizations in several formats, such as PDF, csv files, Microsoft Excel, and SAP HANA.

Share your insight with SAP Lumira Discovery! Learn how to help your company to make better decisions distributing your data stories across your organization.

In this class, you will learn about the integration of SAP BI Platform and Lumira Discovery.

Learners will study in this class:

• Data sources on SAP BI Platform.

• Options that you can perform in your data stories.

• Open document links.

• Bookmarks.

• How to export, share and schedule Lumira documents.

• Lumira documents on BI platform.

• Limitations.

Find useful information to migrate your previous Lumira files 1.x to the new SAP Lumira Discovery 2.x version.

SAP offers a great feature that you will learn in this class: interoperability. Work with the same Lumira document in both technologies: Lumira Discovery and Lumira Designer.

Learn how to install data or visualization extensions to increase the capabilities of SAP Lumira Discovery.

Find useful information to extend your knowledge of SAP Lumira, business intelligence subject, etc.:

• Official SAP help page.

• Explanation about Business Intelligence.

• Measures and dimensions.

• Type of joins.

• Information about SAP BI Platform.

• etc.

Check all this information!
