Report output structure in Simple format

You can retrieve report output in Simple format by including the fmt=Simple option in the URL.

The sample report from Report output structure can be retrieved in Simple format with the following URL:

/Public%2520Folders/Samples/Models/GO%2520Data%2520Warehouse%2520%2528analysis%2529
/Report%2520Studio%2520Report%2520Samples
/Employee%2520Satisfaction%25202006?fmt=Simple

The following sample XML is the report output in Simple format. This sample XML does not include the entire layout data document. Removed sections are represented by ellipses (...).

<report xmlns="http://developer.cognos.com/schemas/raas/Employee__Satisfaction__2006">

    <header>
      <FirstPage_x005fReportTitle2121>
      ...
      <FirstPage_x005fSubtitle1121>

  <styleGroup>

The root element of the document is a report element. The main element names in Simple format are the values of the id elements of the corresponding report parts. For example, the cht with an id value of Combination Chart - survey topic scores by department is rendered as a Combination__Chart___x002d__survey__topic__scores__by__department element in Simple format. The blk elements that do not have id child elements are omitted from the Simple report output.

The Simple report output contains StyleGroup elements that share the structure of the styleGroup elements in LDX report output.
