- 7. Data modules encourageand empower users to perform self-service analytics combining multiple data sources. Overview 7
- 8. Data Modules canbe based on: - Existing data modules built in Cognos Analytics - Pre-configured database connections such as SQL Server, DB2, Redshift, SAP HANA - Desktop-based files such as Excel workbooks, CSV - Extracts or Snapshots from existing packages - Live connections to existing (relational) packages Overview 8
- 9. Simple join relationshipscan be defined and managed by business (end) users. Join type, cardinality and join filters can be easily managed using non-technical terminology and cues. Overview 9
- 10. Interface 10 Enhanced data moduleinterface enables filtering by data source type and time frame.
- 11. Intent-Driven Modeling 11 Intent-driven modelingproposes tables to add to the module
- 12. Custom Tables 12 Table operationscan be used to include or exclude records or to add additional detail to existing records.
- 13. Content Organization 13 • Folderscan be created to organize tables and columns • Folders can be created at the root of the data module, within a table, and within another folder • Folders, tables and data items can be hidden from view
- 14. Calculations • Simple calculationscan be created by selecting the objects and choosing • More complex calculations can be created using the Calculation Editor Calculations 14
- 15. Data Security 15 • Inaddition to filtering data, row level security can be added to a data module only if it is sourced from database tables • Security can be assigned at the user, group or role level
- 16. • Data granularitydifferences between data module sources may need to be addressed – Create table views, alter data module aggregation settings or create calculations – Create joins, sets or calculations directly in the report • Data format must be consistent between fields used for joins and between all columns when creating a union between tables • More complex modeling requirements (i.e. complex security requirements, parameter maps, versioning) are well suited for Framework Manager Quick Tips 16
