Viewing Books

You can view the entire book or individual reports in the book. When you select a report name, the report is generated for all member combinations specified in the book.

You can preview the user POV before running books. When you view books, the user POV and Tables of Contents are displayed. The user POV specifies members for dimensions not defined on report grids. You can change the user POV members and then run the book to display new-member data.

Use the Table of Contents to locate reports that you want to view and to set options.

The time required to generate and display books varies, depending on book size. You can cancel books at any time.
