Example—Creating a Report with Multiple Hierarchies

In this example, an account report is created that provides a list of opportunities and associated competitors for each opportunity, and a list of contacts for each account. Notice that this report displays three levels of hierarchy (parent > child > grandchild) relationship. It is possible to create reports with multiple hierarchies using the methodology laid out in this example.

The following tasks are required to create the report

1. Create and export a new report object definition (and children and grand children) in Siebel Tools.
2. Create a custom component library.
3. Create a report design in Actuate e.Report Designer Professional.
4. Add datastreams to the report design.
5. Add frame, data control, and label elements to the design.
6. Compile and test the report.
