About customizing or creating Cognos reports for IBM® Unica® applications

As mentioned, you can customize the example reports so they include your custom data and you can create new reports. From Cognos Connection, you can configure options for the reports, schedule them to run at regular times, and you can launch Report Studio to customize them.

Consult the following sources when planning and implementing your reports.

The user's guides for your IBM® Unica® applications include short descriptions of all the reports in the IBM® Unica® reports package for that product.

The IBM® Unica® reports packages provide reference documentation that describes the specifications of each of the reports in the pack and the Framework Manager metadata model that supports the reports. Examine these documents before you customize a model or a report. Be sure that you understand how a report is constructed before you make any changes to it.
