3 Working with the Sample Application

We provide a sample application with Narrative Reporting as a learning tool. Use the sample application to:

• See what an application looks like after it is created. The sample application includes:

  • One sample model

  • Seven dimensions with their members loaded

  • Data loaded into the sample model

• Learn how the dimension hierarchy works

• View the proper format of dimension load files and proper format of a data load file

• View application history

• Learn how to grant access to the application to users and groups

• Learn how data grants work by creating a data grant within the sample model

• Experiment with refreshing data (from an application) in a doclet within a report package by using Smart View

This topic shows you how to generate the sample application and guides you to topics that help you learn about an Narrative Reporting application.
