what is difference between functional and non functional requirements in BI reporting?

Hi @PhilipTreacy ,

I have gone through the links you provided again, those are quite good links (second one), so my understanding is

Functional Requirements : these are requirements which system should must have example Dashboard should show key metrics , title , drill etc

Non Functional Requirements: these requirements define how system will operate and may not be mandatory however they will enhance user experience example dashboard should perform better, dashboard  access should be provided to only specific grou[p of people not everyone in organization etc

am i correct?

Functional requirements are like a checklist for a system as they specify what the system must do.  If these requirements aren't met, your software won't function properly.

Non-functional requirements say how the system/software should work and be built. Non-functional requirements determine exactly how the system should operate: its speed, what's going on behind the scenes, and so on

• Functional requirements are essential; the system can’t run unless these are met.

• Non-functional requirements, on the other hand, aren't mandatory; the system can still work even if these aren't fully met.
