User requirements in a universe are key components of BO unvierse which are as follows:
1. Parameters that define database connectivity and SQL options.
2. Classes and objects that users see when building queries and reports.
3. Tables that are pointers to the physical tables in the source database.
4. Joins that define the relationship between the tables.

1. setting parameters
2. Import tables.
3. creating joins
4. resolve join path problems
ex: fan trap, chasm trap,loop
these join problems can be solved by using ALIAS AND CONTEXT

First of all, Get ifnormation to Client what kind of data he wants to see in the report.
who will use this Report and how it looks like and which department it will use for.

contact to DBA asked that I need that field information along with Table Names.
Findout/Create the Connection b/w the Universe and Datasource.
Start Building Schema. Resolve RDBMS related issues.
create sematic layer along with Classes and Objects.
Define predefine filters or prompts which end user(s) needs.
and then export Universe along with connection to repository to make resources available for end user.
Hope Help you out...

We have to go for 80-20 rule. It means understanding the user requirement first, database, connection secured, table map, join, cardinality, loop, trap, if need then for performance issues we have to create (aggregate, aware,index,derived table,short cut join) test universe
