Creating a Report for a Data Source Handler

You can create a report based on the default request handler or a custom request handler. The default request handler returns all of the data from the data source. Custom request handlers return specific pieces of data from your data sources.

Before You Begin

  • You must log in to the Web Console with a user who has permission to access Data Cube and create data sources.

    For more information, see Permissions and Associations for Data Cube Users.

  • To create embedded reports, you must have a role that includes the Add Report permission (under Developer Tools) with an association with the CommCell entity, and the Query Datasource permission with an association with the Data Source entity that you will use.

  • You must crawl the data source. See Crawling Data Connections.

Procedure

  1. In a Web browser, log in to the Web Console, and then click Analytics.

  2. In the left pane, click the connector group to view the data sources for that connector.

  3. On the Data Sources (connector) page, click the data source that you want to use.

  4. In the upper right of the page, click Handlers.

  5. In the Handlers table, under Action, click Visualize.

    The Report Builder dashboard appears. The handler data is automatically added under Data Sets.

    For instructions about creating reports, see Build Your Own Reports.

  6. Deploy the report.

    For information about deploying reports, see Deploying Reports.

Result

On the data source report page, the report is available in the upper left in a collapsed list. To choose a different report, in the upper left beside the name of the report, click the down arrow open_arrow.
