    Has anyone used the analytics accelerator yet? I have only used it within the new CRM VPC so I didn't install it myself...

    I'm having some troubles installing/understanding the "At a glance" part, which is a tab that you can find on the Contact and Account tab. On this tab is an Iframe which refers to a report displaying some things about the Account and Contact.

    This is the link that I find in the iframe url: http://crm-srv-01/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2fCRM+Accelerator+Dashboards%2fDemoAccount&rs:Command=Render,menu=no

    (so the report is for sure on the reportserver)

    So when i type that in my browser I can see the report, and also when I do it in the Contoso organization, where the analytics accelerator is standard installed.

    There are now 2 things I'd like to do but can't figure out:

    1. Install the at a glance accelerator on another organization
        What I've done: installed all the accelerator reports (but I can't find the at a glance reports though), created the iframe and    insterted the url link to the report...
    2. adjust the at a glance report: this i can't do cuz I can't find the report! :(

    Any help on this? You will be rewarded :) (we can talk about the reward details later)

    I haven't played too much with the analytics accelerator but this is my understanding.

    The analytics accelerator uses PerformancePoint and all the pretty graphs you see on the dashboards and 'at a glance' tabs are PerformancePoint reports. Therefore, I'd be looking at the PerformancePoint reports on the VPC as I'm betting these are the ones you actually need.

    This also means, of course, you'll need to install PerformancePoint on the system you're trying to get the 'at a glance' tabs working on. If this is for a customer, there will be a license implication to this. If this is for your own curiosity, you may have licenses via your partner program, an action pack, msdn etc.

    As for a reward, knowing I've helped a fellow CRM citizen is enough but if you feel compelled, I'm sure we can come to an arrangement :P

    Thanks for the reply. I'll have to find out more about the performancepoint reports since it is very new to me.

    But thanks for the answer anyways... it at least gives some clearity of where the report is coming from.
