Lists

Use list reports to show detailed information from your database, such as product lists and customer lists.

A list report is a report that shows data in rows and columns. Each column shows all the values for a data item in the database or a calculation based on data items in the database.

List reports automatically include an overall summary in a footer row. The default summary is used.

You can specify whether to automatically add an overall aggregate summary in the list footer and a summary for any groups in the list by selecting Automatic group and summary behavior for lists in the IBM® Cognos® Workspace Advanced options. The default aggregation as specified in your enterprise data source is used. For more information, see Report Options.
