Reporting

[mhenrybayc]

Is there a way to get an auto populated report send to approvers of employees (that fall under their approval) that have open transactions that need to be submitted on a report?

@mhenrybayc yes, this can be done using the bursting option in Cognos reporting. 

However, it would be a bit too much to type here. What is your Cognos reporting building experience on a scale of 1-10? One being...I've signed in to Cognos to 10...I have built several custom reports on my own. 

Let me know and I'll go from there.

I would say a 5

@mhenrybayc okay, here is the link to our reporting training manual: https://assets.concur.com/concurtraining/cte/en-us/cognos_11_business_intelligence_training_manual.d.... 

Open the doc and search for the word "Bursting". You should see a section that discusses this option and provides and example of bursting by default approvers. Give it a look and let me know if you have any issues. 🙂
