Enhancing WebI reports
There are different methods in WebI to enhance the reports and make the
analysis easily understandable to the end user. Some of the functionalities to play
with the reports are given below.
Breaks
This will group the data according to the values selected. The data will be
organized in a better way and easily understandable. Here we can also introduce
subtotals for the data. Applying break over a dimension will automatically sort the
values in ascending order.
Multiple breaks can be inserted by repeating the same process on another row or
column.
Calculations can be introduced by selecting the values (here sales revenue) and
selecting the function drop down list.

Sorting
Report Filters
This we use for further analysis within a report. This will hide or display data that
we need for analysis. This wont impact query performance as this is a property
inside the report.

Alerts/Conditions
This is similar to “Exceptions” in BEx queries. This will help to highlight data with
different colors that needs attentions of the analyst. An alerter includes 5
elements
1. A name
2. An Object or Cell contents
3. An Operator
4. An Operand values or another object
5. Conditional formatting
This can be applied to tables, forms, cells etc and cannot be applied to charts. Up
to 30 alerts can be included in a WebI document.

Sections
Similar to breaks, Sections can be also used to group data. Here the group values
will come as a header outside each block. Sections group entire report. With
sections one can create multiple blocks within a report. We can insert subtotals,
Charts into the sections, can use fold/unfold feature.
