Reporter is a product GE works with Cognos on. We got it because it's supposed to be huge for ETM. So IDX sends their guy down to train us and he gets us into Reporter and what do you know...there's a huge section with a gazillion already built Sched reports.
This is a SQL based product and the setup and designing of reports is amazing.
Our Sched Analyst (who's been here for a decade) said that she created a report in Reporter in about 15 minutes that had taken her like 3 weeks in DBMS.
We had NO idea there was a Sched package in this thing when we bought it, so talk about a bonus.
I'll shoot you the doc on it in an email. It's 214 pages, but in the appendices, you'll see a list of all the Sched reports they have out there and what they do...and that doesn't even take into consideration the reports you can write off it.
By the way...my sched person said you won't be able to do what you're looking to do in 1 query. She recently did something similar and had to use 2 queries and Access.
