How this book is organized
In addition to the user-based structure of the chapters in this book, each chapter starts
with a “Getting Started” section that corresponds to each Getting Started page in the
Perceive User Interface (one each for the consumer, analyst, and administrator
views). This section includes a quick procedure to help Perceive users quickly
perform a task typical for their role using the Getting Started page.
When reading this book, you might want to skip certain conceptual information and
jump right to the “Getting Started” sections with the included user scenarios. Refer to
Table 1-1 to help you navigate.
This book also contains a chapter on metrics and how to evaluate the performance of
your data using these metrics, as well as a table of contents and index to help you
search and find specific information for which you are looking.
