Enterprise Analytics Reporting

Enterprise Analytics Reporting (EAR) is an additional reporting tool available in the system. EAR lessens the need to manipulate extracted data with external tools, such as Excel, and enables the generation of simple graphical reports. EAR can be used to create custom reports or to run standard reports available from the EAR menu. Editor roles with permission to use the tool see an Enterprise Analytics Reporting link on the Reports menu.

The EAR menu may include three sections:

My Reports: This section contains reports the user has created and saved but not shared. This section appears when the user has saved reports.
Shared Reports: This section contains reports the user has created and shared. It also contains reports created and shared by other users. This section appears when the user has access to shared reports.
Standard Reports: This section contains standard reports created by Aries. The section may contain two or three folders: Editorial Reports, Production Tracking Reports, and Third Party Exports (for sending data to the related organization). For information on third-party reports, see related articles in Additional Tools and Resources.

The left column of the EAR menu page contains three links:

Create Report: Opens the report configuration tool, enabling a user to create a report based on any View or Table.
Get more help about database tables and their contents: Opens the Database Content Help pop-up window that provides descriptions of tables and the fields in them.
Get more help about Views and their contents: Opens the Database Content Help pop-up window that provides descriptions of Views and the fields in them.

Note: The full contents of database help may be downloaded as a tab-delimited file via the Database Help link on the Reports page.

Run a report from the menu page

Report names in the menu appear as links. Links open the report page to display results based on the default criteria (most recently saved criteria). Hovering over a link without clicking displays icons for report tools available for use with that report. Click a report name link to run the report.
