Enhancing WebI reports

There are different methods in WebI to enhance the reports and make the

analysis easily understandable to the end user. Some of the functionalities to play

with the reports are given below.

Breaks

This will group the data according to the values selected. The data will be

organized in a better way and easily understandable. Here we can also introduce

subtotals for the data. Applying break over a dimension will automatically sort the

values in ascending order.

Multiple breaks can be inserted by repeating the same process on another row or

column.

Calculations can be introduced by selecting the values (here sales revenue) and

selecting the function drop down list.

Sorting

Report Filters

This we use for further analysis within a report. This will hide or display data that

we need for analysis. This wont impact query performance as this is a property

inside the report.

Ranking

Ranking can be applied either on data base level (by clicking the Add a database

ranking button in the Edit Query panel) or in report level.

In report level as below;

Alerts/Conditions

This is similar to “Exceptions” in BEx queries. This will help to highlight data with

different colors that needs attentions of the analyst. An alerter includes 5

elements

1. A name

2. An Object or Cell contents

3. An Operator

4. An Operand values or another object

5. Conditional formatting

This can be applied to tables, forms, cells etc and cannot be applied to charts. Up

to 30 alerts can be included in a WebI document.

Sections

Similar to breaks, Sections can be also used to group data. Here the group values

will come as a header outside each block. Sections group entire report. With

sections one can create multiple blocks within a report. We can insert subtotals,

Charts into the sections, can use fold/unfold feature.
