1 Asset Arena InvestOne 1 21 AD HOC REPORTING 21.1 OVERVIEW Ad Hoc reporting supports a range of functionality from quick querying of data to more advanced features: publishing reports with complex features and customized templates. Basic features: Report formatting - titles, footers and page orientation. Each report has a template assigned for more advanced look and feel options. Data querying - reports are built on field sets that select data from various data views. Standard data views such as transaction, security, and fund data are available. Multiple field sets within a report are supported. Sorting of data and multiple field sets. Formatting of data - fields can have customized column titles, date formats, rounding options, and aggregation features like sum, average or minimum. Pre-defined data filters aid in querying data quickly. Advanced features: Joining of field sets from different data views and field sets. Unions of similar data items from different data views and field sets. Graph field sets are available as a separate field set type. Advanced filtering utilizing an expression builder for saved and run-time filters. Grouping by standard data categories or customized categories. Multiple report execution is supported. Branding report templates with advanced look and feel features can be created. The Derived Field Expression builder can create advanced user-defined fields for field sets or data views. Miscellaneous features: Reports can be published out of the Ad Hoc reporting framework and used within Enterprise as a standard report. Security features are built into Ad Hoc reporting that control access to data views, reports and field sets. Sharing features are built into Ad Hoc reporting for folders, reports and fields sets. Multiple report output types are supported such as XLS; XLSX; DOCX; XML; CSV; PDF GENERAL OVERVIEW TERMS AND DEFINITIONS The following terms and definition are listed below to provide a better understanding of the content in this document. Ad Hoc Report A reporting module used to quickly create reports on-the-fly. Ad Hoc reports have features such as: 1. Creation of field sets from various data sources. 2. Model field sets can be created and shared to generate new reports quickly. 3. Sorting options. 4. Grouping fields using standard or custom groups. 5. Derived fields. 6. Joins and Unions of field sets. 7. Graph field sets. 8. Formatting features for fields. 9. Pre-defined filters provided for commonly used filter objects. 10. Ad Hoc Filter creation for field sets using the Ad Hoc ENTERPRISE DA 12.0 AD HOC REPORTING

Single and Multiple report execution. 14. Multiple report output types supported. 15. Publishing feature. Ad Hoc Report Designer Ad Hoc Report Request Business Field Data Extracts Data Sources Data Views The set of screens used to create and modify an Ad Hoc report. Ad Hoc reporting is an Enterprise licensed module. Screen to run an Ad Hoc report. Ad Hoc report request inputs are shown as presentation objects. Single Ad Hoc report and multiple Ad Hoc report requests are supported. The core entity for reporting. The business fields provide the business view of all available data. They represent the data to be displayed on the report. Provide the layer that understands the data source and interprets the report definition provided by the user from the report toolkit application. Data extracts are defined by SunGard. Ad Hoc Reporting employs dynamic data extraction. The physical source of data such as Spectra pulls or database view/tables. Data sources are defined by SunGard. A logical grouping of fields available in a Data Source. Each Data Source will have at least 1 Data View, but may have many Data Views to provide sets of fields that are typically used together on reports. Standard field sets are tied to a single data view. Field Sets Graph Field Sets Join Field Sets Model Field Sets Parameters These are collections of individual business fields selected from a data view. These are special purpose field sets that have graph types (3D Pie, Line, etc) and graph-based control features. A Graph field set is tied to a single data view. Graph Field sets cannot be used in a join, or union, and cannot be saved as a model field set. These are two field sets joined on a common field. Joins have SQL-style options like Inner, Right Outer and Left Outer join types. A join field set can be linked to another join field set. These are field sets that have been saved as Private or Public Models. Private field sets can be copied, or used, within a User s own reports. Public field sets can be copied as a template for use in other reports by Users with access to them. These are choices that can be defined as part of the report definition or entered at runtime to filter data or provide additional processing options. Pre-defined Filters are normally required by each Data Source; these Filters are mandatory. Data Extracts may also support optional pre-defined and Ad Hoc Filters. Ad Hoc Filters can be created using the Ad Hoc Filter expression builder. Custom filters can have multiple logical criteria, nesting, and runtime capability. AD HOC REPORTING 12.0 ENTERPRISE DA

3 Asset Arena InvestOne 3 Multiple sections of criteria can be built using the Ad Hoc Filter expression builder. Presentation Objects Report Templates Reporting Toolkit (RTK) Union Field Sets These are inputs to an Ad Hoc report on the request page. An Ad Hoc report that requires an Account number, a from date, and a to date, will have three presentation objects when the report is requested that the report requestor will input. If multiple Ad Hoc reports are requested, report inputs are grouped into a single presentation object for User input. These are administrator created templates that are assigned to an Ad Hoc report. Report Templates control look-and-feel options of the report such as: Even and Odd Row colors; Column Header Font size, style and font name. A reporting module for the Investment Accounting (InvestOne) Enterprise environment. RTK and Ad Hoc reporting share some UI properties, the underlying data base and data model, data extraction infrastructure, and metadata components. User s familiar with Reporting Toolkit will notice similarities between the modules. These are the result of two field sets that have the same data items, combined into one field set. A Union field set can be created on another Union field set AD HOC REPORTING OVERVIEW The steps to define a basic report in Ad Hoc Reporting are: 1. Enter identifying information such as the report name and description. Apply a report template. Add a title and footer to the Ad Hoc report. 2. Select fields from a Data View to create a field set. Arrange the order of fields as needed. 3. Define options such as sorting, summarization, or field aggregates. Apply formats to fields, if desired. 4. Add a Standard or Custom Group to display data on the report in meaningful sections. Add optional Group aggregates for sections. 5. Select parameters both pre-defined filters and ad hoc filters, if needed. 6. Define the report inputs required on the Ad Hoc report request screen. 7. Test the report to view the results. Modify as needed through the Ad Hoc report designer. 8. Print, or save, the Ad Hoc report. ENTERPRISE DA 12.0 AD HOC REPORTING

4 4 Asset Arena InvestOne Ad Hoc Reporting building blocks FIELDS FROM A DATA VIEW After the basic information is provided, fields are selected for the report as a Field Set. Ad Hoc reports can have multiple field sets, and Join or Union field sets as well. Each Field Set in a Report will contain Business Fields from a Data View. Field sets are defined and created on the Field Set screen. A field set is either a List, or a Summary style. The Data Extract associated with that View will identify the available Filters and Parameters.

5 Asset Arena InvestOne 5 Each Data View has access to Business Fields from a Data Source (typically a Spectra pull). Therefore, selecting a Data View is also selecting the underlying Data Source for the Field Set. The association of Business Fields to Data Views/Data Sources is done in a Data Dictionary and used by Ad Hoc Reporting and the Reporting Toolkit(RTK).

6 6 Asset Arena InvestOne DEFINE SORTING, SUMMARIZATION AND AGGREGATES Each Field Set has a data level List or Summary. List Field Sets return many rows of data at the level they are extracted from the Data source. Summary Field Sets return many rows of summarized data. Both List and Summary Field Sets can have sorting defined on the Fields screen. Sorting precedence is based on the order of the fields selected within the field set. The first field in a field set has the primary sort, if a sort is applied to the field. Custom sorting on multiple fields may require a specific order of fields, and sorting (ASC or DESC) applied to the fields. There are two aspects to Summarized field sets: 1. The first is defining the field set as Summary on the Field Set screen. 2. The second is defining an aggregate such as Sum on the Fields screen. NOTE: The Fields screen supports multiple field aggregates such as: Sum, Average, Count and Maximum. DEFINE GROUPING STANDARD OR CUSTOM Each Field set within a report can have its own Standard or Custom grouping defined. Join or Union field sets apply grouping on the Joined or Union field set itself, ignoring any grouping defined on the underlying field sets. Standard groups organize the field set data by a single or multiple fields selected within the report. A Custom group allows the User to create custom group labels based on user-defined criteria to organize the field set data. Aggregates such as Sum, Average, Count and Maximum can be applied for Standard or Custom group summaries. SELECT PARAMETERS Most Data Sources require 1 or more data filters such as Account Number and dates. All mandatory Filters are pre-selected as Parameters for the Field Set called Pre-defined Filters. Optional pre-defined Filters, if available, can be selected by the user. Pre-defined Filters are defined either as Input or Constant. Default values for Pre-defined can be set. In addition to Pre-defined filters, Ad Hoc Filters can be entered. For example, a simple Ad Hoc Filter could be defined to extract only Transactions with a Transaction Code of BUY. More advanced Ad Hoc filters can be created with the Ad Hoc Filter expression builder using criteria options of Equal, Not Equal, and Like. Ad Hoc Filters can be set as a run-time option. REPORT INPUTS - DEFINE THE REPORT REQUEST SCREEN The Report Inputs control the appearance of the Report Request screen that will be used to run an Ad Hoc report. The labels and display order of the input parameters are userdefined. Custom labels can be created as well. Report Inputs further define report Parameters, and are based on the parameters defined for the field set and the data view. For example, a report has a Pre-defined Parameter for an Account number. Report Inputs can set the Account number to be a required input on the Ad Hoc Report request, and define the Account as being valid for IO Reporting accounts, or a Multi-View Account. An effective date Pre-defined Parameter can be set as a To-Date or a From Date on Report Inputs, or just a Date. These definitions create presentation objects that the User will input to run an Ad Hoc report. Ad Hoc Filters defined as run-time filters are also further defined on the Report Inputs screen. AD HOC REPORTING 12.0 ENTERPRISE DA

7 Asset Arena InvestOne 7 TEST REPORT Once all the required Ad Hoc report data has been defined, the Test button will be enabled. When the Test button is enabled, an Ad Hoc report can be run using the Test button, or run from the Ad Hoc report List. The Test button has been placed on the Report Inputs screen, and the Field Set Summary screen. After an Ad Hoc report has been created or modified, it is a good idea to use the Test button to run the report and see the output. Ad Hoc reports can be partially created, and completed at a later time. A partially completed Ad Hoc reports shows in the Ad Hoc report list, but cannot be executed. It must be completed, and if the Test button is not enabled, the report is missing some inputs or report definition. When an Ad Hoc report is being created, the Ad Hoc Report designer is creating XML-based definition files (a report metadata XML file and a JRXML file) that handles all the report definitions and settings required to execute an Ad Hoc report. If there is an error creating the XML files, an Unable to generate report template file error is shown in a message box. The Test button aids in ensuring that an Ad Hoc report has been created properly. Modifications to an Ad Hoc report are not reflected until the Test button has been used to re-generate the report s XML files. Reports run using the Test button can be printed, or saved as a file, in the same manner as executing a report by clicking on the report name. If an existing Ad Hoc report has been modified, simply clicking on the Test button is enough to regenerate the XML files. It is not necessary to actually execute the report. A Detailed discussion of creating Ad Hoc reports is done using the Report Designer screen, is discussed next. ENTERPRISE DA 12.0 AD HOC REPORTING

AD HOC REPORT DETAILED SCREEN DEFINITIONS Ad Hoc Report List view The Ad Hoc report List is the starting point and center for most Ad Hoc reporting activity. The Role of the user affects the view, as well as other User s Shared Folders and Reports. Note: The above view shows all Folders and Reports as the User is signed-in under an Administrator role. Administrators have Read-Only access to all reports and folders within the Ad Hoc reporting module. Under an Administrator role any Ad Hoc report can be copied. However, only the report Owner has Read\Write access to their reports. A User s Shared report can be copied by another Ad Hoc user, regardless of role. Shared reports can be viewed and copied by other Users, and shared folders can be viewed by other Users. Folders cannot be copied. Screen Fields Field Name Filter Results By: Find Report: All Reports Description This text box filters the grid view of reports and folders by alphanumeric characters input into the text box. Use <enter> or the APPLY button to filter results. RESET resets the screen. This text box calls a pop up to filter report names by alphanumeric characters input into the text box. Use <enter> in the field or click on the look up icon on the right. All Reports is the top level domain for the tree structure in Ad Hoc reporting where the reports and folders are saved. As a User navigates into folders, the All Reports link acts as a breadcrumb and displays the full directory structure of the current location. AD HOC REPORTING 12.0 ENTERPRISE DA

19 Asset Arena InvestOne 19 Grid Fields Column Name Description Select Checkbox to select a folder or report name. Selecting a report or folder will activate the available action buttons at the bottom of the List view. Name Description Share / Do Not Share Report Report or Folder name. Clicking on the name of a report will call the Ad Hoc report request screen. Clicking on a folder navigates into the folder. Clicking the Name link will sort the list. Displays the Report or Folder description. Clicking on the description of a report will bring up the Ad Hoc report designer screens. Folder Descriptions are read-only. Only a User s own reports can be modified within the Ad Hoc report designer screens. Share/Do Not Share is only active for a User s own reports and folders. Sharing a report allows it to be viewed, run, and copied by another User. Sharing a folder allows the folder to be seen by another User as read-only. Unshared reports and folders are private to the owner. The default is Do Not Share for reports and folders. Share shows in black text when activated, and blue text when inactive. Do Not Share follows the same behavior. The property is mutually exclusive on a report or a folder. (Note: an unfinished Ad Hoc report will display both fields as black text until completed.) It is a good idea to share a folder that has shared reports. Otherwise, the shared report(s) will not display to other Users in the folder name. Sharing\Unsharing a folder changes existing reports within the folder to the property of the folder. Changing the Sharing\Unsharing on a folder changes the property of nested folders and reports contained within them. An individual report(s) can be Shared\Unshared as an over-ride by changing the sharing on the report itself. The behavior is the same for nested folders. Therefore, a shared folder can contain shared and unshared reports. A shared folder can contain shared and unshared folders as well. Created By Displays the User ID of the report s owner. The owner of an Ad Hoc report can be changed through an Administrator-only function, Change Owner. Note: The Administrator role has all reports and folders exposed as read-only, regardless of owner. Additionally, the above rules work only for Users within the same Client Browser group defined on the Client Browser screen. The Client Browser screen is an Administrator configuration screen that controls access for multiple Enterprise modules. Users that are not in the same Client Browser group will not see or have access to shared folders and reports in Ad Hoc reporting. ENTERPRISE DA 12.0 AD HOC REPORTING

(See pop up screen shot below.) Folder name can be 50 characters wide. PUBLISH is only active when the User is signed-in with an Administrator role. PUBLISH is intended for completely finished Ad Hoc reports that have a need to be used outside the Ad Hoc reporting module. Before Publishing a report making a copy of the report is strongly advised. Publishing an Ad Hoc report removes it from the Ad Hoc reporting module. Publish creates a standard Enterprise report that can be run through process manager within a process, or run directly from a menu. The report cannot be modified after being Published. A report cannot be un-published, or re-published under the same name. Under the Administrator role, any User s report can be Published. Care must be taken before Publishing any Ad Hoc report.

28 28 Asset Arena InvestOne Screen Fields Field Name Available Field sets in the Report Name Add Data Level Description Dropdown for selecting a field set in an existing Ad Hoc report that contains multiple field sets. For add, this defaults to blank. For change it displays the name of the selected field set. The name is a mandatory field. Naming conventions within Ad Hoc reports are: A standard field set name must be unique within a report. A Model Field set name must be unique within a Customer instance. A field set can also be created by clicking the Add button on the Field Set tab. Clicking it will clear the screen of any content it may have and load the screen in add mode. For add, this defaults to "Select" and for change it displays the data level of the selected field set. Possible values in the drop down are List and Summary. List indicates that the report will contain the number of rows that exist in the query. No summarization is applied, and List is a standard setting for a data level. Summary indicates that the rows returned will contain the summary information for the fields based on the rules on the Fields tab. Summarization is determined by 1) defining the field set as Summary, and 2) applying an aggregate on one or more fields on the Fields screen. Summary is not recommended for most Ad Hoc reports. Model Field set The user can click the icon to open the Model Field set popup. Model Field sets allow the User to quickly create a field set. A User s own Private or Public field sets appear in the pop up list. Another User s Model field sets that have been saved as Public will also appear in the pop up List to be used as a template. A User s own Private Model Field sets can be used as Existing within a report, or copied as a New Model or standard Field set. Model Field sets created by other Users and saved as Public are used within a report as a template. Filter by Data View The User can click the icon to open the Data View popup using the icon on the right of the text box. The user can also enter a Data View name and press Enter. If the data view name is an exact match, that data view would be displayed. Otherwise the Data View popup will be opened. The search for the data view is not case-sensitive. Only data views that have been granted access to the User s role are displayed. An Administrator must grant access to data views based on role. (See the Ad Hoc data view set up details below.) Available Fields Displays the fields in the selected data view. This is enabled when there is a data view name in the Filter by Data View field.

Union field sets combine the results of two or more field sets into a combined result set. Union field sets are created by linking all the fields of one field set to all the fields of another field set. A Union is intended for the same report data items, in the same order, from different field sets, to be displayed on an ad hoc report in one combined result set. Typically, a Union field set will be two combined standard field sets. (However, a Union field set can be linked to another Union field set, a Join field set, or another standard field set.) The order of the business fields in the underlying field sets should be the same. For SQL in general, unions are designed to select the same items from different tables, or sources, into one meaningful result. Violating this rule can result in unpredictable results data columns that are different will show illogical data in the same column; or, a report may generate an error message if data types conflict.

Derived fields are User created fields that can be used within reports to accomplish a variety of purposes: Derived fields can calculate values using mathematical operators. Derived fields can use financial functions to calculate vales. Derived fields can use logical operators to conditionally calculate vales. Derived fields can be created within a field set, or can be created by an Administrator and saved to a data view. Derived fields saved to a data view are available to any User that has access to the data view, and are selected like other business fields. A User must be signed in as an Administrator role to save a derived field to a data view. Derived fields saved within a field set are available within that field set; however, if a report containing a field set derived field is copied, the derived field will be contained within the copy of the field set. The derived field is not a copy and is then shared between the field sets. Derived fields should be carefully named as they must be unique within a Customer. Clicking the Add Fields link on the Field Set screen will display the Derived Field screen. AD HOC REPORTING 12.0 ENTERPRISE DA
