BI Enquiries vs BI Reports |
|---|
- BI Enquires are a set of standardised data views provided with your application.
- These are often lists of data, use the enquiry level filters and column heading filters to find the data you're looking for.
- These can be easily extracted to Excel for further analysis, other extract formats also exist.
- It is possible to have new enquiries created for your company's specific needs but these changes can only be implemented by ourselves along side an application version update.
- BI Reports are a set of reports combining "system reports" provided with your application by ourselves and reports that your own staff can create and share themselves.
- Reports typically aggregate data and present it in an easily digestible form such as a pie chart, bar graph, etc.
- These are not ideal for lists of data as the report will become useless, spanning many pages.
- Although these can be extracted, to PDF or Word are the most useful here as the reports are designed to fit on a page.
- Excel extract is available, but due to the report formatting, BI Enquiries are much better suited for extracting data for further analysis in Excel.
- To create your own reports requires a license, see the section below.
