Define Data Retrieved by Queries

In the universe, objects are grouped into folders called classes. Each class can also contain one or more subclasses. Subclasses contain objects that are a further subcategory of the objects in the upper level of the class. Classes and Objects are presented in a tree structure (hierarchy) in the Data tab.

You can build one or more queries to use in your report as follows.

To add objects and fields to the query

1. Drag and drop the objects from the Data tab (left pane) to the top right pane under Results Objects.

   The object appears in the Result Objects pane.

2. Drag and drop the fields to the bottom right panel under Query Filters.
3. (Optional) click Add Query to build a new query.

   Note: For instructions on how to use the report panel to build queries for Web Intelligence documents, see the Building Queries Using the Web Intelligence HTML Query Panel guide.
