Highlight Exceptions

You can use two types of exception highlighting to identify information that may need further exploration.

Automatic exception highlighting quickly shows unusually high and low values in Explorer reports.
Custom exception highlighting shows a specific range of data. You can create one or more custom exception definitions that can be applied to reports or distributed to others. You can also use a macro to apply a custom exception definition.

For information about creating a macro to highlight exceptions, see the IBM® Cognos® PowerPlay® Macro Reference Guide.
