Abstract
In a computing system, a selection of a predefined key performance indicator that is associated with a plurality of predefined dimensions and with definitional data is received. A dimension value for at least one of the predefined dimensions, at least first and second attributes associated with the dimension value, and a condition that defines a relationship between the first and second attributes are also received. A first reporting format is determined using the dimension value, first and second attributes, and the condition, and second and third reporting formats are determined using the definitional data. A report view formatted according to the first, second, and third reporting formats is displayed on a display device.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for providing a report view, the method comprising:
- receiving a selection of a predefined key performance indicator that is associated with a plurality of predefined dimensions and with definitional data;
- receiving a dimension value for at least one of the predefined dimensions;
- receiving at least first and second attributes associated with the dimension value and a condition that defines a relationship between the first and second attributes;
- determining a first reporting format using the dimension value, first and second attributes, and the condition;
- determining second and third reporting formats using the definitional data;
- and
- displaying on a display device a report view formatted according to the first, second, and third reporting formats.
A computer-implemented method for providing a report view, the method comprising:
- receiving a selection of a predefined key performance indicator that is associated with a plurality of predefined dimensions and with definitional data, wherein at least one of the predefined dimensions comprises a plurality of sub-dimensions;
- receiving a dimension value for at least one of the predefined dimensions that comprises a plurality of sub-dimensions, the dimension value specifying certain of the sub-dimensions;
- receiving at least first and second attributes associated with the dimension value and a condition that defines a relationship between the first and second attributes;
- determining a first reporting format using the dimension value, first and second attributes, and the condition;
- determining a second reporting format using the received dimension value, the second reporting format specifying the certain sub-dimensions;
- determining a third reporting format using the definitional data;
- and
- displaying on a display device a report view formatted according to the first, second, and third reporting formats.
A computer program product tangibly embodied in a computer-readable medium and comprising instructions that when executed by a processor perform a method for providing a report view, the method comprising:
- receive a selection of a predefined key performance indicator that is associated with a plurality of predefined dimensions and with definitional data;
- receive a dimension value for at least one of the predefined dimensions;
- receive at least first and second attributes associated with the dimension value and a condition that defines a relationship between the first and second attributes;
- determine a first reporting format using the dimension value, first and second attributes, and the condition;
- determine second and third reporting formats using the definitional data;
- and
- display on a display device a report view formatted according to the first, second, and third reporting formats.
