✔✔What should you do before creating a new display column? - ✔✔Check to make
sure there isn't a column already created that you can use.
✔✔Define: Report - ✔✔Reports are saved queries that can be run again and again with
the same set of parameters.
They can be common questions shared by groups of users, or one time searches to
satisfy a
specific need for a specific person.
In the My Reports activity, a user can see a their favorite reports.
✔✔Define: Template - ✔✔An HGR master file, a template can be thought of as the set
of options from which reports are built.
The template specifies what can be searched for and what can be displayed.
The report itself determines what will be searched for and what will be displayed.
Every report is built from a template.
✔✔Define: My reports - ✔✔Point-and-click users can easily access their reports from a
Hyperspace activity called My Reports.
In this activity, they interact with two important elements of Workbench reporting:
1. Reports
2. Results: a user can see the recent results they ran or those that have been shared
with them.
✔✔Define: Library - ✔✔To run a report that isn't a favorite, or to add a favorite report,
first a user must find the report in the Library.
The Library contains all the reports and templates a user has access to.
, Important:
The reporting Workbench Library is NOT a list of all the reports and templates in Epic.
The Library is a list of only the reports and templates the viewing user can access.
✔✔Define: Report Results - ✔✔Results are generated every time a report is run. One
report could generate many sets of
results, each set a distinct record of the data as it was at the time the report was run.
In the My Reports activity, a user can see the recent results they ran or those that have
been shared with
them.
✔✔Define: Result Viewer - ✔✔Once you run the report you are taken to the Results
Viewer, where you can watch the progress of the report run.
When the report is finished running, the results of the report run will appear.
✔✔Define: Parameter - ✔✔A report's search is controlled by parameters, sometimes
called criteria or filters. Each parameter is one true/false expression that the report will
evaluate to determine which results should be returned.
✔✔Define: Public Report - ✔✔Public reports are often built by analysts or report writers
who have a strong understanding of
Chronicles data.
These reports can be seen and run by any user with access to the report's
template.
Because of this, the number of users with the ability to write public reports should be
carefully controlled.
✔✔Define: Private Report - ✔✔Private reports are owned by the creating user and are
not visible in other users' libraries by
default.
Many high-needs reporting users will have the security to create their own private
reports because the impact of such reports is limited and there is low risk of accidentally
distributing incorrect or confusing data.
✔✔Define Report Model - ✔✔Epic is unable to create Workbench Reports that work for
every customer. So they release Report Models.
Every Report Model is based off of a template, and has a number of suggested settings
that can make building a report faster and easier than starting from the template alone.
