Report users
In QlikView, reports are considered to be more or less static displays of information
in a tabular form. Reports can serve multiple purposes; for instance, they can be used
to provide users at the operational level with the information they need in their daily
activities. They can also be the end-point of an analytical exercise.
Typical data visualizations at the report level are straight tables and pivot tables. The
following screenshot shows a typical report:
Applying the DAR principle to
Airline Operations
Now that we've gone through the theoretical part of QlikView use cases and user
types, it's time to get practical again. To continue, open the
Airline Operations.
qvw
file we've been working on. We will build our exercises upon the previously
created data model and frontend.
If you've not followed each exercise in previous chapters and
don't have an up-to-date document, don't worry. Take the file
named
Solution_Chapter 5_Airline Operations.
qvw
, which is located inside the
Airline Operations\
Apps
folder; create a copy for back up, and rename it to
Airline Operations.qvw
.
When we look at the document we have built so far, we will notice that this does not
yet cover the Dashboard, Analysis, and Report use cases. That's why, in this section,
we will expand on the various charts that are available in QlikView, while also
applying the DAR principles.
