1 DDS Report Hub Guide The DDS Report Hub is the latest addition to the webtool platform which allows the users to better manage the reports extracted from DDS. The features of the DDS Report Hub which are described in this guide include: Relative Dates Background and Scheduled Reports Report Hub (User Tab) Notifications Relative Dates This feature allows the user to query DDS reports by an offset from the current date. As shown above the report always indicates which data period will be queried based on the selected offset. The option to query by relative dates is found on the Input page of most of the reports in the DDS tool. The use of relative dates is most relevant when using the scheduling reports feature. Selecting Relative Dates will allow the user to schedule a report to be run, for instance with the latest data available fully automated as it is always related to the current date. Background and Scheduled Reports These new features are found on the input page of every report in the DDS tool, next to the Run Report button.

If the report is significantly larger, or takes too long to generate, the report will be automatically run In Background, placing it in queue, prompting the below notification. In Background Running reports In Background will automatically send the queried report to the queue. This feature allows users to run multiple smaller reports, while the system is working on larger reports In Background simultaneously.
