ARC – Why Report Studio?
• Query Studio • ad hoc queries • simple reports and charts
• Report Studio • advanced reports and charts (multiple-page,
multiple-query) • specific needs (complex prompts and filters)• greater flexibility in calculating and formatting
results• re-use

Report Studio
• Challenges• complexity of the tool*• little ExLibris documentation*• knowledge of the underlying database• difficulty dealing with error messages (+ access to
the log files on the ARC server)“CM-REQ-4342 The client did something wrong.”“You do not have permission to use Report Studio. Report Studio is shutting down. For more information, contact the administrator.”
* IBM training: Cognos Report Studio (3 days)

Report design - tips & tricks
• Use:• headers & footers (“Menu: Structure -> Page Header
and Footer...”) – for information that applies to the entire report and that appears on every page
• blocks and tables (“Toolbox: Insertable Objects”)– for horizontal alignment, respectively horizontal and vertical alignment in layout
– (!) blocks and table cells do not add space between objects => insert a text object with “space” character(s)
• images (for logos etc.) only when not saving the report as an Excel file

Report design - advanced
Conditional formatting
•conditional styles – better identify exceptional
or unexpected results
•conditional layouts– multilingual reports– multiformat reports (pdf,
Excel, html etc.)

Crosstabs
• Crosstab reports are used to show the relationships between three or more query items.
• Crosstab reports show data in rows and columns with information summarized at the intersection points.

Crosstabs

Crosstabs – tips & tricks
• In crosstabs only measures (no texts, no dates) can be used for the body (intersection of rows & columns)
• In order to add more than one measure for a crosstab insert all fields at the same time either as rows or as columns and do not use a default measure
• There is no grouping with crosstabs (that is done automatically when creating the crosstab).
• A list can be transformed into a crosstab, but not the other way around.
• Nested crosstabs can be created by adding more than one item to rows or columns.

Filters
By creating filters certain conditions are defined around query items in order to report on a specific subset of data.
The filter applies to all rows in the list / crosstab / chart etc.
![Page 19: Roxana Popistaşu IT staff Roxana-Maria.Popistasu@bnl.etat.lu](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56812b27550346895d8f2f4c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Filters

Filters – tips & tricks
• For filters you can use:– constants (typed or selected from the data available in ARC),
data items, parameters (prompt values) etc.
• Filters can be: – optional (for prompts), required or disabled (for test purposes)– detail (on an item) or summary (on aggregate data – totals etc.)
filters
• (!) Detail filters work with the rows at the database level (before any aggregation): the values are chosen according to the filter and only afterwards combined.

Prompts
Prompts are used in order to ask the user for a report specification. They function as filters.
Prompts are useful for:•running the same report with different parameters•creating Report Views and schedules

• Report views ≈ different outputs of the same report
• the same report specification as the source report• different properties:
prompt values, schedules, delivery methods, run options, languages, and output formats
• Example:• report: “Loans per month”• possible report views: “BnL - Loans per month (pdf)”, “BnL -
Loans per month (xls)”, “Uni - Loans per month (yearly)”, “Uni - Loans per month (trimester)”

Schedules & jobs
• When scheduling a report several options can be set.
• Scheduling works with reports & report views.• For multiple reports that need to run at the same
time, schedules can be grouped in a job.• (!) Several report views for the same report can
be added to a job, with different prompt values / languages / output or delivery options, but they need to have different names.
