Topics to be covered in the training sessions :

1. How to select multiple terms for Academic Partnership Reporting
For example: Currently, all Cognos reports are developed to select/ enter 1 term at a time but going forward with Academic Partnership reporting, we would like to change all possible Cognos reports to be able to select multiple terms at once.
This way, for Spring 2019, a user will be able to select 201910 and 201911 at once; for Summer 2019, a user will be able to select 201930 and 201931 at once; for Fall 2019, a user will be able to select 201950 and 201951 at once.

2. How to request modifications to an existing report
For example: If a user would like to add/ remove data fields, add/ remove aggregate values to a report, etc., the user will submit a Report Form where we have added a checkbox to indicate modifications are need.  


3. How to save Cognos reports in Excel
Tips on how to save and modify (sort/ filter/ save as/ etc.) Cognos reports.
