    Abstract: A business intelligence system comprises a business intelligence interface system that enables users to interface with a business intelligence system and an electronic learning system that delivers electronic learning related to the business intelligence system. The business intelligence interface system enables one or more portions, such as folders of reports, individual reports, metadata or other business intelligence objects, or a report definition, of the business intelligence system for use by a user based on information related to whether the user has engaged in electronic learning associated with the one or more portions.
