What Are Some Of The Best Practices In Creating Reports?

Answer»

Limit the number of Data Providers Used

Push down operations towards the Database/Universe which means

Retrieve aggregated data instead of AGGREGATION within the document

Do not (accidentally) disable the cache mechanism of Web Intelligence

Web Intelligence has a great CACHING mechanism for documents that have already been viewed. Using Cache improves the load time of documents; HOWEVER there are a few functions within Web Intelligence that will prevent the use of the Cache. 

These functions are:

  • Current Time ()
  • Current Date ()
  • Username ()
  • Avoid Auto-Fit When possible
  • Avoid CHARTS with a HIGH number of Data Points
  • Limit use of “Scope of Analysis”
  • Build lean reports by having as little calculations as possible.
  • Use Query filters instead of Report Filters
  • Ensure Query Stripping is utilized
