A report can refer to the specification that says what information to include in a report, or the results themselves. For Report Studio and Query Studio, report specifications can have saved results or you can run a report to produce new results. For PowerPlay, reports are always run against the latest data in the cube.
After a report is published to the portal, you can view, run, or open it or view report output versions. You can also view the report in various formats.
You can distribute reports by saving them, sending them by email, printing them, or bursting them. You can also set run options for the current run, and set advanced run options for the current run.
You can create an ad hoc report using Query Studio or you can use Report Studio to define layouts, styles, and prompts for your report. You can also create Analysis Studio reports.
You can create drill-through definitions to create links to target reports using a set of parameter values defined by a drill path and determined by the context of a source report.
You can schedule a report to run at a later time or on a recurring basis. You can schedule a report as part of a job or based on a trigger. You can view the run history for a report. For more information, see “Schedule Management.” You can also include a report in an agent.
You organize your report entries in a way that is convenient for you.
