Workgroup Modeling Reports

Modelers typically work from a common set of libraries and models, and share information about these objects with other users. One way to share information is by using reports, which details the information and definitions for a model. You can generate predefined reports to view the contents of specific libraries and models, view the changes and conflicts for specific models, and view the security structure for the database.

You can generate Mart reports using either the Report Designer, the Query Tool, or a third-party reporting tool.

Report Designer

Report Designer lets you create a wide variety of mart administrative reports and cross-model reports. You can create report templates for frequently used reports and you can export reports to the HTML, CSV, and PDF formats. You can create report solutions and include multiple report templates. For more information about the Report Designer, see the Online Help.

Reporting Tool

You can create custom reports using a third-party reporting tool. For more information about generating custom reports, see the Creating Custom Mart Reports using a Reporting Tool guide.

erwin Data Modeler Workgroup Edition includes the following predefined reports:

	Session_Log-Filter By Category- Misc	Filters logs of miscellaneous actions that are not covered under any category. For example, report execution
	Session_Log-Filter By Category- Permission	Filters logs of actions performed using the Permissions pane of erwin Mart Portal
	Session_Log-Filter By Category- Profile	Filters logs of actions performed using the Profile Management pane of the erwin Mart Adminsitrator
	Session_Log-Filter By Category- User	Filters logs of actions performed using the User Management pane of the erwin Mart Portal
	Session_Log-Filter By Type- Error	Filters logs of actions that are registered as errors
	Session_Log-Filter By Type- Info	Filters logs of actions that are registered as information. This is the default level for all actions except for actions that result into errors.
User Permissions	Exclude Delete Users	Filters permission information of users, excluding deleted users
Users	Exclude Delete Users	Filters information of users, excluding deleted users

The filters available are mutually exclusive. Therefore, you can select only one of them at a time.

Bulk Editor

The Bulk Editor provides the selection, validation, and maintenance of model object metadata, permits reusable customization (option sets), and realtime access to model changes. Export results or selected rows to a CSV file. You can use the Bulk Editor to edit a small set of properties over a large number of objects. Changes and updates are immediately committed as you make them, field by field.

For more information, refer to the Using the Bulk Editor topic.

Query Tool

The Query Tool is used to query the repository through executing SQL SELECT statements against a local model or a model in the mart. You can use the Query Tool to create your own .QRY report file. Save your option set locally to the model or as an XML file. Export your results to a CSV file. You can execute a query against the objects and properties in the model, the metadata defining those objects and properties, and the action log that records the changes that are made to your model during the modeling session. You can create new queries or paste text from another source (such as a .SQL file) into a query. Although the Query Tool provides a built-in query interface in erwin Data Modeler, you can also use any third-party reporting tool that has ODBC capability to query erwin Data Modeler modeling data.

For more information, refer to the Query Tool topic.
