Business Intelligence and Reports Guide

 

The Business Intelligence and Reports application is used to run, customize, schedule and save reports, to create, run and save Business Intelligence queries; and to create extracts.

For an outline of the Business Intelligence and Reports Guide's content, refer to the Business Intelligence and Reports Content Map.
Tab Description
The Generated Reports tab enables you to run pre-configured reports. The tab contains two pages:
  • Reports: Displays the available pre-configured reports that you can run.
  • Parameters: Once you select a report, this page displays the report’s parameters. The parameters enable you to filter your report based on the criteria you specify.
    For more information, refer to Business Intelligence and Reports - Generated Reports.
The Saved Reports tab enables you to run a report using criteria previously saved by you or another user. For example, at the end of the day you may want to run a report to view your sales. Saving the report enables you to run this daily without having to re-specify the report’s criteria.
The Reports tab contains two pages:
  • Reports: Displays a list of saved reports to which you have access.
  • Parameters: Displays the parameters for the saved report. Some or all of these parameters may already contain criteria saved with the report. Depending on who saved the report and how it was saved, you may or may not be able to edit the criteria.
    For more information, refer to Business Intelligence and Reports - Saved Reports.
The Business Intelligence tab enables you to extract data specific to customers, orders, admissions, or notes by creating queries specific to your needs.
Business Intelligence (BI) extracts can be presented in various ways such as PDF, HTML and CSV/Excel and can be downloaded, saved and/or printed.
For more information, refer to Business Intelligence and Reports - Business Intelligence.
The Saved Business Intelligence tab enables you to access saved Business Intelligence (BI) extracts created for your organization. You can access all extracts created by you, as well as those public extracts created by other users.
For more information on working with BI, refer to Business Intelligence and Reports - Saved Business Intelligence.

Notes on Credit and Debit Card Account Numbers

Reports do not display credit and debit card account numbers. Instead, the sequence number and reference number from the payment gateway are used.

Within Business Intelligence, if you include account numbers and your database is encrypted, the application will display encrypted information. If your database is not encrypted, your system administrator can enable masking within the Registry to hide account numbers. For more information, refer to Masking Fields.

Notes on Date Formats

Once you run a report, the report header displays the date and time the report was generated, the version information for the report, and in some reports, the date criteria used to run the report. These date and time formats are fixed and may not necessarily be the same as the format used elsewhere within AudienceView. The date and time formats used in the report header are YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM:SS and YYYY-MM-DD.
