Report Studio: Regarding DMR package...

[Cogs247]

Hi,
I am new to Cognos. Ahh....In DMR package we do have
Dimension->Higher Level->Lower Level->Attribute.
My question is in Report studio while we using DMR PKG, if i need a data item, which one to drag on to the list/Crosstab from these levels? Is it the same if i drag an item from any of these? or is there any difference? I think i explained it correctly...
Thanx...i appreciate your help...

Usually for a list you pull in the attributes in levels from the hierarchy; however for Crosstabs that need to be sliced and diced, you pull in the members. E.g. You directly pull in Jan,Feb...Dec from Month level into the crosstab. It's again all based upon your requirement. You will get the hang of it, once you build a couple of reports...
