Need better organization with BI topics

  • It would be nice to get a single BI main heading that would contain SSIS, SSAS, SSRS, DW Design and perhaps break it down by version 2005 and 2008 So a total of 7 forums under BI.

    Currently there is a BI forum under SQL2005, an SSIS forum under 2005, an SSIS forum under data warehousing, and there is a lot of BI postings under SQL2008 general.

    It would be nice to have a single location that everyone uses for BI stuff.

    Thanks

  • not a bad idea, but that would mean I'd have to make 2-3 levels of forums. I'm trying to keep things listed at two. So I have main forums for Warehousing/BI and for SSRS. Not sure how I can get all of those into one area, but I could combine them.

    Is there a compelling reason for this? Seems like lots of SSRS and SSIS specialties.

  • Steve I understand not wanting too many levels. My main reason is that the activity for bi forums is spread across multiple areas and these are generally lower activity so I feel that people are not connecting with each other.

    Overall I can't say enough about SSC it's been and continues to be great resource for myself and members of our team.

    Thanks,

    Tom

  • I'll stick it in the back of my mind and see if we can better group these together. Maybe a forum with all BI topics and then sub topics for SSRS, SSIS, SSAS, etc?

    It seems we have a call almost equally for separate topics and also for combined topics.

    I don't know what percentage of people browse the different forums v use something like Active Threads or the newsletter to find questions.

    If it helps I'm almost exclusively active thread.
