Basic Concepts Brio 2002

2 Basic Concepts

The idea behind this session is to provide you with more than just a set of

working tips. I also hope to impart some of the basic thought processes that went

into these tips. That way, you will be able to expand on what is presented here

and create your own tips and enhancements.

Be Creatively Lazy

Find ways to let the computer do a lot of the work. Think globally. Think about

creating reusable “components”. And think about what is the best processing

location for the particular functionality you need to use.

Plan Your Course

Before you start developing pivots, charts or reports themselves, take a step back

and think about what you are trying to accomplish. You may change the way

you develop your reports entirely once you have gone through this process first.

Take the 30,000 Ft. View

Look at your analysis requirements from a business perspective, rather than the

initial specifics of the pivot or chart you want to end up with. Business analytics

involves gaining business value, not just reproducing existing management

reports. Your design planning should take into account why the existing

management reports are inadequate, and provide a solution that solves those

problems as well as providing the actual reports. Use this opportunity to add

value, not just recreate the same paper reports in an electronic form.

Static versus Analytic Reports

Part of the difference between older style solutions and a Brio solution is the

ability to provide live, analytic reports. As such, you might need to look at some

of the new capabilities in Brio Intelligence v6.x that give you more flexibility in

this area.

For example, do you want to take advantage of the new drill-to-detail and

incremental drilling features? Do you want to create a live interactive data

dashboard of Key Performance Indicators to replace or enhance the existing

management reports? Will the new SmartReport enhancements enable you to use

embedded charts or pivots in a Report section to produce something you’ve

always wanted to do but couldn’t in prior versions? The answers to these types

of questions will drastically affect how you develop your charts and pivots.
