How can I create a universe on Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 using Information design tool? If it is not possible then please let me know if there is a some other way to deliver dashboards and reports based on the data of Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012.

Also can we create reports directly on Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 using Crystal Reports 2013?

If you have a single data source, then you're better off using the UDT rather than the IDT.

Create a new universe, define your connection and away you go (assuming you've used designer before!)
