IBM Cognos Analytics: Author Reports Advanced (V11.1.x) Training

IBM Cognos Analytics: Author Reports Advanced (V11.1.x) Training is aimed at experienced authors to teach them advanced report building techniques to improve, manage, customize, and distribute reports. This technical course teaches students the leading methodologies to build highly interactive and engaging reports that can be functional offline by building Active Reports.

In this course, you will learn to respond to a business query by referencing data in a different query and implementing report authoring styles introduction to dimensional metrics in reports. It helps you recognize tuples and sets in reports and compare the filter function. This technical training program makes a very efficient resource for report authors who want to gain a better understanding of IBM Cognos Analytics. You will also learn to use a query macro to control report output and inspect the report specification flow.
