Web Intelligence Interface

In InfoView, Web Intelligence provides an ad hoc reporting tool and it is intended for users who want to create basic reports easily without writing queries. Web Intelligence uses predefined report models and templates that manage data connections, querying, and data relationships, so you need only drag and drop data fields onto a template to create tabular or matrix reports. You can use all InfoView features that are described in the InfoView User Guide.

A Web Intelligence document references a BusinessObjects object called a universe to create reports. You build new reports on BusinessObjects universes. CA Business Intelligence provides the CA SDM universe with the product.

Important Depending on your role, you may not have access to the functionality described in this section. For example, some pre-defined roles can modify existing reports in InfoView but cannot create new reports in Web Intelligence.
