Title: Can you print Contributor Annotations to a file?
Post by: bronsonhg on 15 Nov 2007 07:30:25 AM
Is there any way to get the annotations in Contributor to print to a file?  I'd like to make a searchable list so, for example, when we are reviewing our budget we don't have to open every individual department to see all the changes for a particular line item. 

If not, is there any way to change the page formatting when printing a hard copy of the annotations from Contributor?  The info gets spread out over two pages, making it difficult to use for reference.

You can publish all annotations to database and make a nice report in Cognos 8 BI.

Publish, make a view of joined dimensions and fact table (with annotations) and do whatever you want in excel (via odbc) or any other sql-reading capable tool.
