25 Training Documentation Corporate IT - Center of Excellence Cognos CPM Cognos Workspace Advanced Using functions 25

26 Suppress Rows and Columns Module 2 - use Suppress Rows and Columns from the shortcut menu pane to hide empty rows and columns to make the data clearly represented - choose the corresponding data container (applies only to the selected object) and click Suppress Rows and Columns i - Consider if some new members were added into the data container it could be that its not displayed because of the suppress functionality. 26

27 Summarize data Module 1 - use Summarize data from the shortcut menu pane to chose different total functions like Total, Count, Average, Minimum or Maximum. - To create a total line for the columns, click on the corresponding column and choose the total function. Afterwards a new column will be displayed on the right side of the data container. - To create a total line for the rows, click on the corresponding row and choose the total function. Afterwards a new row will be displayed on the bottom of the data container (see screenshot above). i - The automatic summary consider the type of the column and aggregate the rows for each column. Use this option if you re using ratios. 27

28 Summarize data Module 1 - Automatic Summary: Consider the type of the column/row and aggregate the rows for each column - Total: Create a total of all rows for each column - Count: New feature : Count the different numbers of data items for each column - Average: Calculate the average of all rows - Minimum: Shows the row with the lowest figure - Maximum: Shows the row with the highest figure 28

29 Swap Rows and Columns Module 1 Crosstab after swap rows and columns - use Swap Rows and Columns from the shortcut menu pane to change and reorder the rows with the columns - useful feature to relievable the output formats in PDF or Excel. Depends on the page settings landscape or portrait 29

30 Expand / Collapse Member Module 1 - Expand Member generates new rows or columns of the next deepest level e.g. from Quarter Q to the months Jan/2012, Feb 2012 and Mar Collapse Member fold the expand members and delete the new rows or columns - Expansion - applies only to the selected object - adopt the styles options of the row or column - generates new summary lines - Right click on the name of the specific level and select Expand Member or Collapse Member 30

36 Prompt types Module 2 - Two different prompt types with multi or single select options - Prompt on Hierarchy: Create a source tree with all available elements of the selected level and all levels below. Its possible to select elements from different levels. - Prompt on Level: Create a list of all available elements of the selected level. - By default multi select is activated - For single select activate Single Value and choose the prompt type Prompt on Hierarchy Prompt on Hierarchy Prompt on Level Prompt on Level (multi select) (single select) (multi select) (single select) 36

37 Workshop 2 Objectives of the workshop Insert data from different levels Suppress Rows & Columns Summarize Data Expand and Collapse Members Test: Swap Rows & Columns Filter Data Create a prompt on level with single select Workshop description The report should show the different values of each product line from each division. It compares the net sales of the last month from the current year with the net sales of the last month from the last year. Also the report should display the planned net sales from a specific plan cycle of the current year. The report filters only the external sales from a specific company. The user can choose a company with a single select, after he/she runs the report. Report Preview 37

67 Schedule a report Module 1/2 - Runs a report automatically by a defined frequency - Click on Schedule a report to setup the schedule options 67

68 Schedule a report Options Module 1/2 Frequency: Handles the time and period when the report runs. - By default the reports are scheduled for each week starting on the current day. Start - End: The Start and End defines the time range the schedule is active. - By default the start date is the current day and no end date is set; i.e. the schedule runs for ever. Options: Options allows overwriting the default values. - By default the report run in HTML format. In the screenshot the options of the schedule are changed to create an output format in Excel which will be sent by to one recipient. Prompt values: If the report includes prompt pages it is necessary to set the corresponding parameters to schedule the report. If there is no prompt page no action is needed. 68

69 Schedule a report - Using Trigger Module 1 i - a trigger allows to run the report after a specific event has been arrived from the data load process. For example the Trigger vista_mngmt fired after Vista Management Cube has been created successfully. - every trigger has different characteristics - to use a Cognos trigger select the Frequency tab By Trigger and enter the name of the Trigger Please note: By default the report runs for ever if no end date is specified Trigger Name month_end_trigger query_loaded vista_company vista_mgmt Vista_mgmt_detail us_domestic vista_meco working_day_01 working_day_xx Description Trigger is executed every first working day of a month after data have been successfully loaded into Data Mart Note: Use this Trigger for Vista Query & US Domestic Details Reports Trigger is executed every day after data have been successfully loaded into Data Mart Note: Use this Trigger for Vista Query & US Domestic Details Reports Trigger is executed every day after Vista Company Cubes have been created successfully. Note: Use this Trigger for Reports based on Company Cubes Trigger is executed every day after Vista Management Cube has been created successfully. Note: Use this Trigger for Mgmt. Cube Reports Trigger is executed every day after Vista Management Detail Cube has been created successfully. Note: Use this Trigger for Mgmt. Detail Cube Reports Trigger is executed every day after US Domestic Cube has been created successfully. Note: Use this Trigger for US Domestic Cube Reports Trigger is executed every day after Vista MeCo Cube has been created successfully. Note: Use this Trigger for Mgmt. Detail Cube Reports Trigger working_day_01 is executed on the first day of the month (except the weekend Saturday and Sunday) after the data load process has been finished successfully. There are also triggers for the second until the fifth working day. Trigger working_day_xx is executed from the sixth working day until the end of the month, 69

70 Save the report (Public Folders vs. My Folders) Module 1 - Every user with the same permissions can run, modify or delete the report - For example a QAFR user which have access to the vista sales reporting application can save the report in Public Folders -> Reports -> QAFR -> Vista - Every user have a personal folder - Only the signed on user have access to his/her saved report in this folder 70
