Defining the report

Before you begin

At least one type of analysis is created in the Profiling perspective.

In the tree view of DQ Repository, expand Data Profiling.
Right-click the Reports folder and select New Report.
The report creation wizard opens.
In the Name field, enter a name for the report.

Information noteImportant:
Do not use the following special characters in the item names: ~ ! ` # ^ * & \\ / ? : ; \ , . ( ) ¥ ' " « » < >

These characters are all replaced with "_" in the file system and you may end up creating duplicate items.
Optional: Set report metadata (Purpose, Description and Author) in the corresponding fields and click Finish to close the dialog box.

A node for the new report is displayed under Reports in the DQ Repository tree view, and the report editor opens with the defined metadata.

Information noteRemember: The display of the Analysis Results view depends on the parameters you set in the Preferences window. For more information, see Setting preferences of analysis editors and analysis results.
