Course Outline

This course is aimed at those non-technical business report authors responsible for producing ad-hoc reports and/or those wishing to produce straight forward reports and distribute them in various formats (pdf , excel etc ) around the business.

This will involve techniques required to extract information and present it in a readable and clear format and layout which will also include charting options.

To accomplish this we will use concepts such as sorting , grouping , adding new calculations , totals and sub-totals and adding flexibility into the query to allow the author to create prompts for users to select what items they want to show on the report.

Note:
This course will use IBM Cognos 8 standard demonstration data as the basis for the workshops and examples. It is possible to customize the course notes and examples using your own data , however there will be an additional fee for this customization.
