Managing Report DataSets
Introduction to Report DataSets
Report DataSet
A Report DataSet is a set of data extracted from Hopex repository.
This set of data is presented in a tabular form and defined by a Report DataSet Definition.
To create a Report DataSet, Report DataSet definitions are available.This set of data shown in a tabular form is used as a source of data in reports. Data can then be used and shown in different graphical formats.
Report DataSet Definition
A Report DataSet Definition describes how to build a Report DataSet from the Hopex repository data.
Accessing Report DataSets
Access to Report DataSets gets done the same way in all Hopex Solutions.
Report DataSets are listed in two pages:

• my Report DataSets
Each Report DataSet is listed with the following characteristics:
• its confidentiality (public/private)
• the Report DataSet Definition on which it is based
• the date and time it was last generated
• its generation time
• its owner container

A Report DataSet is created from objects of the Hopex repository.
In the Report DataSet properties, the Characteristics section specifies the characteristics of the Report DataSet:
• Report DataSet Definition is the definition on which the Report DataSet is based
• #Tags shows the tags of the Report DataSet
• Sharing defines the confidentiality mode of the Report DataSet:
• public: the Report DataSet is shared with the other users
• private: the Report DataSet is confidential to the user who created it.
In the Report DataSet properties, the Data page includes the following sections:
• Parameters, which defines the objects to be extracted from the Hopex repository.
• Report DataSet, which shows the Report DataSet data in a tabular form.
The data displayed is read-only.
For example, a Report DataSet with “Applications - Technologies” as a definition contains the following data for each application selected (objects to extract):
- "Application"
- "Rating"
- "Technologies"
- “Vendor” (of the technologies)
- "Cost"
- "Number of Users".
From the Data properties page, you can:
