Using the Sample or Custom Application

You can have only one application per environment (for example, one in Test and one in Production) and have a choice between creating a sample or custom application.

When you first get started, you can use the sample application to see a finished application with its dimensional hierarchies in a model, and use Smart View to interact with data in a doclet in a sample report package. Once you are familiar with the sample application functionality, you can create your custom application. See Working with the Sample Application and Creating a Custom Application.
