Cognos Dashboards

[Jaspire]

Hi,
I need to work on Dashboards. Can you please let me know what part does Powerplay and Framework Manager play in building Dashboards. Also I appreciate if you could inform me which topics I should learn to work on this.
Thanks,
Madhavi

Hi,

To work with the Dashboard, you need to work with Report Studio. You can further look in to the online help module to get some tips and tricks to create good dashboards with Report Studio.

Framework Manager and PowerPlay are used to create the packages, using which you can use your data items for the purpose of reporting. They both are Metadata Modelling Tools not an Reporting Tool. You need to design your metadata with any of them (Relational Sources with FrameWork Manager) and OLAP/Cubes structures with PowerPlay.

Focus on Report Studio to create the Dashboard.

Creating Dashboards with Report Studio is very limited. For KPI (Key Performance Indicators) there is a more specialized tool like Metrics Studio I guess..
