Creating a report
With Cognos®
Analytics - Reporting, you can create any reports that your organization requires, such as invoices, statements, and
weekly sales and inventory reports.
Click the Open menu icon 
, and then click 
New and then click Report.
When you create a report, you are actually creating a report specification. The report specification defines the queries and prompts that are used to retrieve data and the layouts and styles used to present the data. For simplicity, the report specification is named by the same name as the report.
