Setting Reporting Options (SAP Library - CBI Question & Answer Database)

Setting Reporting Options

Use

Select the report you would like to generate from the Reports menu. In the dialog box that appears, select the information to be included in the report.

Features

Different options appear, depending on the report you are generating. Generally, you can choose the following:

Structure Level

In the Report select options box, select the Structure Level checkbox, if you don’t want to generate the report for all structure items in a substructure. Choose Select. The SAP Reference Structure and all structure items set in scope appear. Select checkboxes for all structure items you would like to include in the report. You can choose more than one item. When you select a structure item, its subnodes are automatically included in the report.
The structure displayed depends on the reporting scope you select in the Reports menu. For example, if you select Reports -> Business Blueprint -> All, all structure items you have set in scope appear when you choose Select. However, if you generate a Business Blueprint for a specific substructure, the system only displays the tree structure for this substructure when you choose Select.

Owner

Select this checkbox, to include in the report only the structure items that are assigned to a specific owner. You can use the possible entries help to select a consultant or owner from the list box.

The report contains all structure items assigned to the owner you have selected. It covers all items that are set in scope and their higher-level structure items. Content such as answers, and CI templates, are printed only for the structure items for which the specific owner is responsible. Q&Adb users must have a specific authorization profile to use the Owner function. You can select more than one owner.

If the owner is assigned a subordinate structure item, you can select the Reference to dominant structure item checkbox in the Print Options group box, to include the contents of the dominant structure item in the report.

Answered Questions/Unanswered Questions

Select the Answered Questions checkbox, to include only questions that have an answer in the report. In addition to questions and answers, reports also include all attachments (the link name contains the entire structure path). To include all questions, select both the Answered Questions and Unanswered Questions checkboxes.

CI Templates

Select this checkbox, to include CI templates and all attachments in the report. Only CI template sections that contain information are printed. To include CI template sections that do not contain information, select the Include empty CIT sections in the Print Options box.

Choose the CIT Filter button to include only certain CI template sections in the report. In the Displayed sections window, all CI template sections appear that are relevant for the substructures you have selected in the Reports menu. Transfer the sections that you do not want to appear in the report to the Hidden sections window.
