How to create a multiple page report in cognos-Beginners Tutorial

Add pages to a new or existing report that contain different content to create a multiple-page report.In this topic, you learn how to create a multiple-page report that shows two sales performance reports.
It should take 10 minutes to complete this topic, and the two report pages will look like this.

In the below example we are taking region, retailer, planned revenue, revenue and gross profit as the data items for the list report and also chart report.

Steps to create a Mutlipage report in Cognos:
1. Create a list report that uses the sample package named GO Data Warehouse (query). If you want to know how to create a list report, you can view the tutorial on list report here.
2. Add these data items to the list report list and create a default list report.
● Region (in Retailer site)
● Retailer country (in Retailer site)
● Planned revenue (in Sales fact)
● Revenue (in Sales fact)
● Gross profit (in Sales fact)

3. Group the Region column to make the report easier to read. You can do this by clicking on the region column and selecting the group by from the aggregation functions. You can also do this by simply dragging the region column name region under the grouping and sorting properties available in the left side properties pane.
4. Change the blue text placeholder to "Performance by Region".

● Order method (in Order method) to the Category (y-axis) drop zone
