Guidelines for creating new, custom dashboard reports
The IBM® EMM reporting packages for Campaign, Interact, eMessage, and Marketing Operations include pre-configured reports (portlets) that are specially formatted to for use with IBM® EMM dashboards. See the IBM® Marketing Platform Administrator's Guide for details on working with dashboards and using these pre-configured portlets.
If you want to create new, custom dashboard reports in Cognos® Report Studio, use the following guidelines.
*
Examine the reference documentation that describes the metadata model and the specifications of the example reports from the report package. It is located in the ProductNameReportPack\cognosN\docs subdirectory in the report package installation directory, where N is the version number of your Cognos® installation.
*
Save all dashboard reports in the appropriate product subdirectory under the main Unica Dashboards folder.
*
The report must be formatted and sized so it fits properly in a dashboard portlet. See Dashboard report styles in the "Style Guide for the IBM® Cognos® BI reports" appendix for a description of the formatting you should use.
*
Do not include a title in a dashboard report. The portlet it appears in will give the report its title.
*
Do not include hyperlinks in a dashboard report.
*
Do not include page numbers in a dashboard report.
To create a new dashboard portlet and add the report to it, see the IBM® EMM Marketing Platform Administrator's Guide.
