Home Page

The Home page interface of Guided Reporting offers dynamic views of the established report groups and reports as set by the administrator. This includes accessibility of what you are permitted to see as each report group can be established for a variety of viewing purposes. The options to select from are a reflection of how your cube view or dashboard are established in your application, as well as any additional setup for labels and default values within the solution itself.

Guided Reporting is designed to provide parameters in a Global view or a Selector List view for you to work with and reference when reviewing chosen filters.

On the Guided Reporting Home page you can do the following:

• Select report groups

• Select reports

• Review Dashboard reports

• Define parameters available for selected Cube View reports (global parameters, selector list view parameters, shared column or row set parameters)

Below is an image that represents a cube view that is using global and selector list parameters as well as a shared column set parameter.

The Define Global Parameter Header and the Global Parameter bar only display on the Home page if the Global Parameter Definition table is used.

If the Global Parameter Definition table is being used, the Home page will reflect as such if the Cube View report is using those parameters in the Global view.

NOTE: The Global Parameter Definition table is used for Cube View reports only. There is no impact on this table for Dashboard report types.

When you toggle between report groups and reports, the right side of the Home page updates with a new cube view or dashboard based on new filtered selections.

Below is an example of how a Dashboard report would render. Notice that the global parameter bar and selector list bar are not present. If parameters are defined and used in a Dashboard report, they remain within that dashboard itself as they are not part of the Discover process established for cube views within Guided Reporting.
