Standards for BusinessObjects UM-Maintained Reports
The file BO
Report Design Usability Checklist contains standards for BusinessObjects
UM-Maintained reports. MAIS Data Delivery staff uses the checklist
to review reports before adding them to the UM-Maintained folder. The purpose
of the checklist is to encourage consistency in UM-Maintained reports
while allowing report writers some flexibility to achieve the needs
of a particular report. Therefore, many of the items on the checklist
are not required; rather, they are guidelines or suggestions.
This checklist
is provided here so that the staff in MAIS and in central offices
(such as the Registrar's Office and the Development Office) who
write these reports can apply the standards as they create a report.
Individuals who are writing a report for their own use or for use
within their unit can also use the checklist if they want their
report formatted similarly to reports in the UM-Maintained folder.
The file Guidelines
for Creating Report Headers & Footers contains some hints
on how to format headers and footers in BusinessObjects reports
to implement the standards on the checklist.
The file BusinessObjects
Naming Standards contains standards for names of BusinessObjects
universes, aliases, conditions, and reports, including the naming
standards for UM-Maintained reports. It is provided here for the use
of those who create UM-Maintained reports.
The UM-Maintained
reports are available within BusinessObjects XI R2 by navigating to FolderView. Click the plus signs next to
Retrieve from - Public Folders - UM-Maintained.
