At the end of this chapter, you should be able to differentiate the three main object types or categories. You should be familiar with the MicroStrategy Developer interface and default Project structure. At this point you should understand and be able to create the following objects:

Configuration Objects:

• Project

Schema Objects:

• Table
• Fact
• Attribute
• Hierarchy
• Transformation

In the next chapter, we will create and manipulate our first Report but not before understanding some of its component objects: Templates, Filters, and Metrics.
