What Is Managed Reporting?
Managed reporting is the opposite of ad-hoc reporting. It is also known as scheduled reporting or canned reporting. With managed reporting, reports can be scheduled in advance and then delivered to each recipient.
On-demand reporting – Pre-designed reports can either be run on-demand or scheduled to run at a particular time.
Report delivery – With Cognos 8 BI, reports can be delivered by email or to an area on the Cognos portal where the appropriate users (but not anyone else) can access them.
Burst reporting – a report is split up then sections of it are delivered to different users or groups of users. For example, a report might be burst on department, and a sub-report delivered for each department.
Dashboards – dashboards provide a high-level view of KPIs you wish to track. Data is typically a combination of spreadsheet views and charts, from which you can drill down into more detailed anaysis
Portal Pages – In Cognos 8 an unlimited number of ‘portal pages’ can be set up. These are individual web pages accessible only to particular users and user groups. The portal pages can contain
· A menu of Cognos 8 BI reports
· Dashboards
· KPI scorecards
· Links to web pages
· Pre-run report output
· Charts
… and more
Portal pages can also be set up through your organisation’s Intranet so you can access your vital information without having to access the Cognos portal at all
