11 About Web Intelligence 1

12 About Web Intelligence 1 How Web Intelligence performs business intelligence over the web How Web Intelligence performs business intelligence over the web Web Intelligence provides business users an easy to use interactive and flexible user interface for building and analyzing reports on corporate data over the web, on secured intranets and extranets. The Web Intelligence software is installed by your administrator on a web server on your corporate network. To use Web Intelligence from your local computer, you log into the business intelligence portal InfoView via your Internet browser. Then, depending on your security profile, you can interact with the reports in corporate documents or edit or build your own documents using a Web Intelligence report panel or query panel. How Web Intelligence performs business intelligence offline Web Intelligence can be used offline as Web Intelligence Rich Client, a standalone Microsoft Windows application, equivalent to the Java Report Panel, that you can install on your computer. Web Intelligence Rich Client lets you continue to work with Web Intelligence (WID) documents when you are unable to connect to a CMS, when you want to perform calculations locally rather than on the server, and when you want to work with Web Intelligence documents without installing a CMS or application server. Web Intelligence Rich Client can also be used when connected to a CMS. Interacting with Web Intelligence reports Depending on your security profile and on how Web Intelligence is deployed across your organization, you can view, analyze, or enhance and modify the data displayed on reports. 12 Building reports using the Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel

13 About Web Intelligence Interacting with Web Intelligence reports 1 Viewing and printing Web Intelligence reports Once logged into the business intelligence portal InfoView, you can access Web Intelligence documents and view reports. Onscreen navigation is made easy with page-to-page navigation buttons and a document map that allows you to jump from section to section or report to report. The same document can provide the information adapted to each user due to prompts that request each user, who opens the document, to specify the data they want to return to the reports. When you print reports, Web Intelligence automatically generates a copy of reports in Portable Document Format (PDF) format for optimum print quality. Drilling on Web Intelligence reports Drilling on Web Intelligence reports enables you to analyze the detailed data behind the displayed results. You can turn the report you are viewing into a drillable report or drill on a duplicate of the original report to retain a version of the results before your drill analysis. Once you have found the information you need, you can save a snapshot of the drilled report to share the results of your analysis with other Web Intelligence users, or save the document in Excel or Portable Document (PDF) format to print or to other business contacts. Performing on-report analysis Viewing Web Intelligence reports in Interactive view format enables you to enhance reports and fine-tune the data reports contain, to highlight the information that most interests you on demand. On-Report Analysis is designed for: users who need to build queries and then want to build reports report consumers who need to manipulate the reports created by others With On-Report Analysis you can: Building reports using the Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel 13

14 About Web Intelligence 1 Creating and editing Web Intelligence documents view document metadata to understand the data behind reports and see how reports are structured and filtered filter and sort results add new tables and charts add formulas and create variables format and change the layout of charts and tables slice and dice results by adding other data to charts and tables Note: On-report analysis of Web Intelligence reports in Interactive view format is only available if your administrator has deployed Web Intelligence in JSP mode. Creating and editing Web Intelligence documents You can create or edit Web Intelligence documents using several tools: Web Intelligence Query - HTML on page 14 Web Intelligence Java Report Panel on page 15 Web Intelligence Rich Client on page 15 Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel on page 15 Web Intelligence Query - HTML Designed for users requiring a pure HTML environment to build queries, Web Intelligence Query HTML offers the ability to define the data content of documents on multiple data sources. You can use Query HTML to create new documents from scratch or edit the queries in documents created using any of the other Web Intelligence tools. Used together with On-Report Analysis, Query HTML provides a complete solution for building queries and designing powerful reports in a pure HTML environment. Once you have run the queries to generate a standard report, you can leverage Web Intelligence On-Report Analysis features to format multiple reports, add formulas, and create variables. Note: Web Intelligence Query HTML and On-Report Analysis in Interactive view format are only available, if your administrator has deployed Web Intelligence in JSP mode. 14 Building reports using the Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel

15 About Web Intelligence Creating and editing Web Intelligence documents 1 Web Intelligence Java Report Panel The Java Report Panel is designed for users who need more flexibility with designing report layout and defining formulas and variables. A graphical Formula Editor enables you to build formulas rapidly using drag-and-drop. Note: The Web Intelligence Java Report Panel is available if your administrator has deployed Web Intelligence in ASP mode and if your administrator has deployed Web Intelligence in JSP mode. Web Intelligence Rich Client Web Intelligence Rich Client is a locally installed Microsoft Windows application that lets you work with Web Intelligence (WID) documents that are stored locally or in a CMS. When working without a CMS connection you can work on your local machine with either CMS-secured or unsecured documents. Web Intelligence Rich Client is based on the Web Intelligence Java Report Panel and provides equivalent document creation, editing, formatting, printing and saving capabilities. There are a number of reasons for using Web Intelligence Rich Client to work with WID documents: You want to work with Web Intelligence documents but you are unable to connect to a CMS (while traveling, for example). You want to improve calculation performance: Web Intelligence Rich Client performs calculations locally, rather than on the server, and local calculations can perform better than server calculations. You want to work with Web Intelligence documents without installing a CMS or application server. Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel Designed for users who need to build basic reports, the HTML Report Panel provides query and report features in a simple wizard-like interface. Each Building reports using the Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel 15

16 About Web Intelligence 1 Creating and editing Web Intelligence documents document is based on a single data source and can contain multiple reports, displaying different subsets of information. In addition, the HTML Report Panel is 508 compliant and can be customized for specialized deployments. Note: The Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel is only available if your administrator has deployed Web Intelligence in JSP mode. 16 Building reports using the Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel

ClickWeb Intelligence Preferences to display the Web Intelligence options. 3. Select the query editor beneath Select a default creation/editing tool. 4. Click OK. To select the Web Intelligence view format You can select different view formats for Web Intelligence documents depending on how you want to interact with the information displayed on the reports. You select your Web Intelligence view options in InfoView. When you modify your view options, the new settings are implemented the next time you open a Web Intelligence document. 1. Click the Preferences button on the InfoView toolbar. 2. Click Web Intelligence Preferences to display the Web Intelligence options. 3. In the Select a view format section, select the view format. To select a default universe for new documents 1. Click Preferences on the Infoview toolbar. 2. ClickWeb Intelligence Preferences to display the Web Intelligence options. 3. Click Browse beneath Select a default universe and browse to the universe you want to select as the default. To set Web Intelligence drill options Drilling on reports lets you look deeper into data to discover the details behind a good or bad summary result displayed on a table, chart, or section. Before you begin a drill session, you can set your drill options in InfoView to specify how reports will change each time you drill. 1. Click Preferences on the Infoview toolbar. Building reports using the Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel 21

22 Accessing Web Intelligence from InfoView 2 Web Intelligence InfoView options 2. Click Web Intelligence Preferences to display the Web Intelligence options. 3. Select the drill options under Drill options and Start drill session. Hide drill toolbar option When you drill on a value displayed on a report, the Drill toolbar appears and displays the value on which you drilled. The value displayed on the toolbar filters the results displayed on the drilled report. For example, if you drill on year 2001, the results displayed on the drilled table are Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 for year This means that the quarterly values you drilled to are filtered by Note: If the drilled report includes dimensions from multiple queries, a ToolTip appears when you rest your cursor on the value displayed on the filter. The ToolTip displays the name of the query and the dimension for the value. The Drill toolbar allows you to select alternative values on the same level, in order to filter the results differently. For example, if you use the Drill toolbar illustrated above to select 2002, the results displayed on the drilled table would be Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 for year You can opt to hide the Drill toolbar when you start drill mode. The Drill toolbar is only useful if you want to select filters during your drill session. Prompt when drill requires additional data option When you drill the results displayed on a Web Intelligence report, you may want to drill to higher- or lower-level information that isn t included in the scope of analysis for the document. When this is the case, Web Intelligence needs to run a new query to retrieve the additional data from the data source. Since queries on large selections of data may take a long time to be completed, you can choose to be prompted with a message every time a new query is necessary. The prompt message asks you whether you want to run the additional query or not. In addition, the prompt lets you apply filters to the extra dimensions you include in the new query. This means you can restrict the size of the query to only the data necessary for your analysis. You need permission from your administrator to drill out of the scope of analysis during a drill session. 22 Building reports using the Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel

23 Accessing Web Intelligence from InfoView Web Intelligence InfoView options 2 Synchronize drill on report blocks option When you select the Sychronize drill on all report blocks option, the display of all blocks changes to correspond with your drill actions. For example, if you drill down on a block from year to quarter, and your report also contains a chart showing data by year, the chart display also changes to display data by quarter. If you do not select the option, only the drilled block changes in response to drill actions. Start drill session option The Start drill session option controls how Web Intelligence behaves when you start drill mode. Start drill session on existing report option When you select Start drill session on existing report, the current report becomes drillable when you start drill mode. When you end drill mode, the report displays the drilled values. Start drill session on a duplicate report option When you select Start drill on a duplicate report, Web Intelligence creates a duplicate of the current report when you start drill mode, and you drill on the duplicate. This allows you to compare the results of the original report with the results you discover during your drill analysis. Web Intelligence locale options The locale determines how a Web Intelligence document displays data. It affects, for example, the formatting of numbers and the default sort order. Three locale settings combine to determine how Web Intelligence displays data: Building reports using the Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel 23

29 Building and editing queries 4

30 Building and editing queries 4 Creating and editing documents Creating and editing documents You create Web Intelligence documents by first selecting a universe in InfoView. Each universe maps to a database containing corporate business information. When you connect to a universe, Web Intelligence automatically launches the document editor selected on the Web Intelligence Document Preferences page in InfoView. After you have selected a universe, you use the objects in the universe to build a query to return data from the database to your Web Intelligence document. To select a universe 1. On the InfoView Home page, click the arrow next to New on the top toolbar. 2. Click Web Intelligence Document. 3. Click the title of the universe on which you want to create a document. Your selected query editor opens and displays the objects in the universe. To edit a Web Intelligence document 1. Navigate to the document you want to open on the InfoView home page. 2. Click Modify below the document name. The document opens in the Web Intelligence document editor you selected in the InfoView preferences. How universe objects map to data Classes and subclasses Objects are grouped into folders called classes. Each class can also contain one or more subclasses. Subclasses contain objects that are a further subcategory of the objects in the upper level of the class. 30 Building reports using the Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel

31 Building and editing queries How universe objects map to data 4 The role of classes is to organize the objects into logical groups. When you create queries on the universe, classes help you to find the objects that represent the information that you want to use in a query. Dimension object A dimension object represents data that provides the basis for analysis in a report. Dimension objects typically retrieve character-type data, for example; customer names, resort names, or dates. Dimension objects appear as follows in the Web Intelligence query panel: Detail object A detail obect provides descriptive data about a dimension. A detail is always attached to the dimension for which it provides additional information. For example, [Age] is a detail object that is associated with the (Customer] dimension. Detail objects appear as follows in the Web Intelligence query panel: Measure object The measure object retrieves numeric data that is the result of calculations on data in the database. For example, [Revenue] is the calculation of the number of items sold multiplied by item price. Measure objects are often located in a Measures class. Measure objects appear as follows in the Web Intelligence query panel: Building reports using the Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel 31

32 Building and editing queries 4 Building queries There are two types of measure: classic measures - calculated by Web Intelligence smart measures - calculated by the database on which the universe is based In certain situations, smart measures impact the way in which Web Intelligence displays calculations. For more information on smart measures, see the Using Functions, Formulas and Calculations in Web Intelligence guide. Building queries To build and run a query in the HTML Report Panel 1. Click the + sign next to a class folder in the Universe Objects pane. The class expands to show the objects that belong to the class. 2. Double-click an object in the Universe Objects pane; or Drag an object from the Universe Objects pane and drop it onto the Result Objects pane; or select an object on the Universe Objects pane, then click >>. 3. Repeat the previous step for every object you want to include in the query. 4. The next step depends on whether you want to generate a default formatted report immediately to view the results or whether you want to design the document structure now and then generate the results with your personalized formatting. Option Click Run. Description Do this to display the results corresponding to the query definition in a vertical table, containing data for all of the objects included on the query. 32 Building reports using the Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel

33 Building and editing queries Building queries 4 Option Description Click the Report tab at the top of the HTML Report Panel, specify the structure of the document, and then click Run. Do this to select a specific table or chart template for the data or insert additional reports and then allocate a sub-set of the query data to each report. To add objects to a query in the HTML Report Panel You must be on the Query tab of the HTML Report Panel. 1. Click + next to a class folder or double-click a class folder. 2. Double-click an object in the class you expanded or drag the object to the Result Objects pane or select the object then click >>. To remove objects from a query in the HTML Report Panel You must be on the Query tab of the HTML Report Panel. Drag the object from the Result Objects pane and drop it onto the Universe Objects pane or select the object then click <<. To set query properties in the HTML Report Panel 1. On the Query tab, click the Expand Properties Zone button. The query properties options appear. 2. Set the properties. Building reports using the Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel 33

34 Building and editing queries 4 Controllling how queries retrieve data Controllling how queries retrieve data Max retrieval time query property Maximum time that a query can run before the query is stopped. This can be useful when a query is taking too long due to an excess of data, or network problems. You can set a time limit so a query can stop within a reasonable time. Max rows retrieved query property The Max rows retrieved query property determines the maximum number of rows of data that are displayed when a query is run. If you only need a certain amount of data, you can set this value to limit the number of rows of data in your document. Max rows retrieved does not operate at the database level. If you set Max rows retrieved to 1000, and your query returns 5000 rows, Web Intelligence initially retrieves all 5000 rows, before discarding 4000 and retaining only the first 1000 rows. The Sample result set query property also applies a restriction on the number of rows in the query, but at the database level. If you set Max rows retrieved to 2000 and Sample result set to 1000, the query retrieves a maximum of 1000 rows only. This setting can be overridden by the limits set by your administrator in your security profile. For example, if you set the Max rows retrieved setting to 400 rows, but your security profile limits you to 200 rows, only 200 rows of data will be retrieved when you run the query. Retrieve duplicate rows query property In a database, the same data may be repeated over many rows. You can choose to have these repeated rows returned in a query, or to have only unique rows returned. 34 Building reports using the Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel

35 Building and editing queries Setting the scope of analysis 4 Setting the scope of analysis Scope of analysis The scope of analysis for a query is extra data that you can retrieve from the database to give more details on the results returned by each of the objects in a query. This extra data does not appear in the initial result report, but it remains available in the data cube, so you can pull this data in to the report to allow you to access more detail at any time. This process of refining the data to lower levels of detail is called drilling down on an object. In the universe, the scope of analysis corresponds to the hierarchical levels below the object selected for a query. For example, a scope of analysis of one level down for the object Year, would include the object Quarter, which appears immediately under Year. You can set this level when you build a query. It allows objects lower down the hierarchy to be included in the query, without them appearing in the Results Objects pane. The hierarchies in a universe allow you to choose your scope of analysis, and correspondingly the level of drill available. In the Java Report Panel and in Web Intelligence Rich Client, you can also create a custom scope of analysis by selecting specific dimensions for the Scope of Analysis pane. Note: You cannot set the scope of analysis when working in query drill mode because this drill mode causes Web Intelligence to modify the scope dynamically in response to drill actions. Levels of scope of analysis You can set the following levels for scope of analysis: Level None Description Only the objects that appear in the Results Objects pane are included in the query.

Description For each object in the Results pane, one, two, or three objects lower down the hierarchy tree are included in the query. The data from these objects is stored in the cube until you add them to the document. All objects added manually to the Scope of Analysis panel are included in the query. Including a scope of analysis in a document increases the document size significantly. This is because the data necessary for the scope you specify is saved with the document, even though it is not visible in the reports unless you start drill mode and drill down to the data to display the corresponding values. In order to minimize the size of documents and optimize performance, we recommend that you only include a scope of analysis in documents where you are certain that users will need to drill. We suggest the following method because it will be easier for you to set the scope of analysis seeing the hierarchy of the classes and objects. To set the scope of analysis in the HTML Report Panel 1. On the Query tab, click the arrow next to the Scope of Analysis drop-down list box. 2. Select a level for the scope of analysis. 36 Building reports using the Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel

37 Building and editing queries Query contexts 4 Query contexts What is an ambiguous query? An ambiguous query is a query that contains one or more objects that can potentially return two different types of information. In a universe, certain dimensions may have values that are used for two different purposes in the database. For example, the [Country] dimension in the query below can return two types of information: Customers and the country in which they spent their vacation. Customers and the country for which they have made their reservation. The role that Country plays in this query is ambiguous. A country can be either the country where a vacation was sold, or a country where a vacation is reserved. One is existing information (sales), and the other is future information (reservations). To avoid ambiguities in a query, the universe designer identifies the different ways that objects can be used in the universe, and implements restrictions on how these objects can be combined. These restrictions are called contexts. What is a context? A context is a defined group of objects that share a common business purpose. This business purpose is usually the type of information that these related objects represent. For example, a sales context is a grouping of all the objects that can be used to create sales queries. A reservations context is a grouping of all the objects that can be used in reservation queries. Contexts are defined in a universe by the universe designer. You can combine any object within the same context to create a query. You can also combine objects in different contexts. If you use an object that is common to both contexts, Web Intelligence will try to determine the context that best fits the other objects in the query. If it cannot determine a context, you are prompted to choose the context that you want to apply to the query. Building reports using the Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel 37

38 Building and editing queries 4 Query contexts To choose a context when you run a query Click the context in the Select a Context dialog box. Choosing a context when you run a query When you create a query or refresh a report, you may be asked to choose a context before the query can run. Contexts are set up in a universe to avoid ambiguous queries. To choose a context when you run a query Click the context in the Select a Context dialog box. Reset contexts on refresh query property When selected, you are prompted to choose a context each time a query requiring a context is run. When unselected, Web Intelligence retains the context specified the first time you run the query. To reset contexts on query refresh in the HTML Report Panel 1. On the Query tab, click the Expand Properties Zone button. The query properties options appear. 38 Building reports using the Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel

41 Table types in Web Intelligence 5

42 Table types in Web Intelligence 5 Vertical table A Web Intelligence report displays results in a block. You can format the block as a specific type of table. Vertical table Vertical tables display header cells at the top of the table and the corresponding data in columns. By default, the header cells display the names of the dimensions, details, and measures included in the table. The body cells display the corresponding values. Horizontal table Horizontal tables display header cells at the left of the table and the corresponding data in rows. By default, the header cells display the names of the dimensions, details, and measures included in the table. The body cells display the corresponding values. 42 Building reports using the Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel

43 Table types in Web Intelligence Crosstab 5 Crosstab Crosstabs display values for dimensions across the top axis and on the left axis. The body displays the values of a measure that correspond to the cross-section of the dimensions. For example, this crosstab displays values for [Quarter] across the top axis and displays values for [State] on the left axis. The body displays values that [Sales Revenue] for each quarter in each state. You can include multiple dimensions in crosstabs. For example, this crosstab displays two dimensions. The values for the [Sales Revenue] measure are values each state by quarter for each line. When you create crosstabs that include a dimension(s) in the body, the body cell values are calculated according to a multi-dimensional data model. The values displayed in the body are calculated according to all of the coordinates on the table axes, whether or not there is a row for the specific coordinate in the SQL result.

44 Table types in Web Intelligence 5 Forms Forms Forms are useful in your report if you want to display detailed information per customer, product, or partner. For example, a form is a useful way of displaying individual customer records with information such as the customer account, name, address, and so on. Forms are also useful for formatting address labels for envelopes. 44 Building reports using the Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel

51 Chart types in Web Intelligence 7

52 Chart types in Web Intelligence 7 Bar charts Bar charts A Web Intelligence report displays results in a block. You can format the block as a specific type of chart. Bar charts display data in bar form, either vertically or horizontally. Bar charts are useful if you want to compare similar groups of data; for example one time period to another. There are five types of bar charts: grouped, bar and line, stacked, percent, and 3D. Line charts 2D bar charts include the optional Z-Axis. Including data on the Z-Axis enables you to show an additional break down of the results displayed on the chart bars. 3D bar charts do not include an axis legend. You can clearly see what information is displayed on the chart bars by looking at the axis labels. Line charts connect specific data values with lines, either horizontally or vertically. Line charts are useful if you want to show trends or changes in data over time. There are five types of line charts: mixed, stacked, percent, 3D, and 3D surface. Area charts Area charts are line charts in which the area between the lines and axis are filled in. Area charts are useful if you want to emphasize the size of the total data in a report, as opposed to the changes in the data. You may not want 52 Building reports using the Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel

53 Chart types in Web Intelligence Pie charts 7 to use an area chart if you have a sharp contrast between specific data points. Use a line chart instead. You can use more than one measure object on the Y-axis as long as the measures are of the same type and scale; for example, Number of Guests, and Future Guests. There are five types of area charts: absolute, stacked, percent, 3D area, and 3D surface. Pie charts Pie charts display data as segments of a whole. Pie charts are useful if you want to show how each part of your report data contributes to the total. Pie charts have a single axis displayed on the body of the pie. This is the Y-Axis. Each segment of the pie chart displays a value for the measure on the Y-Axis. The pie chart legend indicates the dimension on the X-Axis. You can only include one measure object in a pie chart. If you have several measures in your report, you should choose another chart type. There are four types of pie charts: pie, 3D pie, ring, 3D ring. Radar, polar and scatter charts In radar charts, the X- and Y-axis connect at the chart s center. Radar charts are useful if you want to look at several different factors related to one item. For example, you could use a radar chart to display revenue data for different services within a hotel. On one axis, you could display revenue for the rooms. On another you could display revenue for the restaurant, and so on. Building reports using the Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel 53

54 Chart types in Web Intelligence 7 3D charts Scatter charts are similar to line graphs, except that the data points are plotted without a line connecting them. Scatter charts are useful if you want to make a comparison between specific data points. There are four types of radar, polar, and scatter charts: radar line, stacked radar, polar, and scatter. 3D charts 3D charts include three axes: the Y-Axis always displays values for measures (such as sales totals, margins, quantities and so on); the X- and Z-Axis display values for dimensions (that is, key indicators, such as time, geography, service lines, and so on). In the 3d bar chart displayed below, the chart bars display sales revenue per quarter, per year. The [Sales revenue] measure is on the Y-Axis, the [Quarter] dimension is on the X-Axis, and the [Year] dimension is on the Z-Axis To see how this data is displayed in a 2D bar chart, see 2D charts on page Building reports using the Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel

55 Chart types in Web Intelligence 2D charts 7 2D charts The 2D bar chart below includes an optional Z-Axis with the values for quarter. Including data on the Z-Axis enables you to show an additional break down of the results displayed on the chart bars. The [Sales revenue] measure is on the Y-Axis, the [Year] dimension is on the X-Axis, and the [Quarter] dimension is on the Z-Axis. Notice that because the Z-Axis cannot be represented graphically on a 2D chart, the legend provides the information for the Z-Axis values. To see the same data displayed in a 3D bar chart, see 3D charts on page 54. Building reports using the Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel 55

79 Sorting the results displayed on reports 12

80 12 Sorting the results displayed on reports You can apply sorts to the values displayed in tables and sections to organize the order in which values are displayed in a report. The following sort orders are available: Sort order Default Description This is sometimes referred to as the natural order. Depending on the type of data in the column or row, the results are sorted as follows: ascending numeric order for numeric data ascending chronological order for date Chronological order for months alphabetical order for alphanumeric data Ascending Descending Custom (available in the Java Report Panel) When selected, results are arranged in ascending order: The smallest value at the top of the column moving to the highest value at the bottom. For example: 100, 200, 300 or California, Colorado, Florida. When selected, results are arranged in descending order: The highest value at the top of the column moving to the smallest value at the bottom. For example: 300, 200, 100 or Florida, Colorado, California. You define your own sort order. 80 Building reports using the Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel

81 Sorting data in tables 13

82 Sorting data in tables 13 To sort values on a table You can apply one or multiple sorts to a table and then prioritize the order of the different sorts applied to the table. You can apply sorts to any dimensions, measures, or details displayed on a table. Sorting dimensions and details helps you organize results chronologically, while sorting measures helps you see highest or lowest results at a glance. How the sorts are applied depends on whether the table includes a break. When you apply a sort to a table without breaks, the sort is applied to the selected row or column for the entire table. However, when you apply a sort to a table with breaks, the sort is applied to each break in the table. In the example illustrated here, a descending sort is applied to Sales revenue: In the second table with breaks on the Year and Quarter column, the Sales revenue column is sorted from highest to lowest results in each break: 82 Building reports using the Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel

89 Breaks 15

90 Breaks 15 Breaks defined Breaks defined A break is a division within a block in which data is grouped according to a selected dimension, detail, or measure into self contained sections. These sections are represented as smaller tables within the same block of data. You use breaks to display all the data for each unique value of an object in separate parts. Using breaks has two main advantages: You can more efficiently organize how your data is represented. You can display subtotals. Breaks compared to sections A section breaks up the data into multiple free-standing cells called section headers. Each section header contains one value for a dimension, with a block of data that corresponds to the dimension value. A break divides the data up within one block. One column contains the values for a dimension, detail, or measure, which are repeated for each other row of values in the block. Default sort order in breaks When you insert a break on an object, the values for the object are automatically sorted in ascending order as follows: If the values are numeric, the lowest value appears in the first row of the table, the highest in the last row. If the values are alphabetical characters, then the values are sorted in alphabetical order from top to bottom. You can change this sort order at any time. You can set multiple breaks and set a sort priority on each break, so that you control how the data is displayed when you insert multiple breaks across several dimensions details, or measures. 90 Building reports using the Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel

128 Formatting charts in the HTML Report Panel 26 Formatting options available for charts Formatting options available for charts Formatting options for 2D bar charts 2D charts include an optional axis legend that lists the values displayed on the bars or lines. In example illustrated here, a 2D bar chart includes the optional Z-axis. Including data on the Z-axis enables you to show an additional break down of the results displayed on the chart bars. The [Sales revenue] measure is on the Y-axis, the [Year] dimension is on the X-axis, and the [Quarter] dimension is on the Z-axis. 128 Building reports using the Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel

129 Formatting charts in the HTML Report Panel Formatting options available for charts 26 Formatting options for 3D charts 3D bar charts do not include an axis legend. You can clearly see what information is displayed on the chart bars by looking at the axis labels. The following example shows a 3D bar chart. In the example illustrated here, the chart bars display sales revenue per quarter, per year. The [Sales revenue] measure is on the Y-axis, the [Quarter] dimension is on the X-axis, and the [Year] dimension is on the Z-axis. Formatting options for pie charts Pie charts have a single axis displayed on the body of the pie. This is the Y-axis. Each segment of the pie chart displays a value for the measure on the Y-axis. The pie chart legend indicates the dimension referred to by the measure. Building reports using the Web Intelligence HTML Report Panel 129
