Upfront and Reports

[spicysudhi]

Hi

I am looking for more details about the Powerplay reports on Upfront. (this query is related to my previos question in the forum)

I have below queries or problems

1. the reports are always resulting in the PDF format, If i change the output to web explorer, the required chart (Correlation) is not coming (its coming as crosstab). Another report is not displaying all the levels as arranged. In Windows client version, these reports run perfectly.

2. will it be possible for the end user to do all the things (with a report) as in the windows client on the upfront?

3. The formating of the data displayed in powerplay reports is not same as in the windows client. I dont have any decimal places in client version, but published reports having decimal places


are these the built-in (undocumented) features of the product or i am missing something.

my way of publishin the report is as below:
1. open cube registered in the PPES using PP client
2. design report
3. Publish to Upfront from file menu

anything wrong in it?

regards,
sudhi

Sudhi,
Your method of publishing reports to upfront is exactly right: I believe the differences you are experiencing results from the fact that the Web version of PP (PPES) is not the same as the Client version.
I'm given to understand that the intention is to make the versions more similiar, but as to inclusion of correlation charts, that's a question for Cognos. Best to approach your reseller, see what information they have and perhaps request it as an enhancement.
Not too sure about the answer to your point 3 - have you left your measure format as 'general' in transformer?
