Difference between Express authoring mode and Professional authoring mode?..

Answer / jmd

The Professional authoring mode gives users access to the
full range of Report Studio functionality. In this mode,
you can create any report type, including charts, maps,
lists, and repeaters, using any data source (relational or
multidimensional). This mode contains a superset of the
features available in the Express authoring mode. However,
you cannot view live data.

The Express authoring mode provides a simplified and
focused Report Studio interface. It is designed for non-
technical users to create traditional financial and
management statement reports. This mode allows access to
dimensionally-modeled data and uses a member-oriented data
tree, by default.

This authoring mode allows you to see live data and
supports crosstab reports. It contains a subset of the
features available in the Professional authoring mode.

When you are in the Express authoring mode, if you open a
report that was authored in the Professional authoring
mode, you can see the objects that can be inserted only in
the Professional authoring mode, such as charts, maps, and
lists. However, you cannot modify these objects.

Professional Authoring Mode:

The Professional authoring mode gives users access to the
full range of Report Studio functionality. In this mode,
you can create any report type, including charts, maps,
lists, and repeaters, using any data source (relational or
multi-dimensional).


Express Authoring Mode:

The Express authoring mode provides a simplified and
focused Report Studio interface. It is designed for non-
technical users to create traditional financial and
management statement reports. It only allows access to
dimensionally-modeled data and uses a member-oriented data
tree.

This authoring mode supports only crosstab reports, for
users who want a default financial layout, with indentation
and single member insertion. A Windows-like toolbar offers
buttons to easily style your reports rather than using
property sheets.

In addition, a page section and context area (similar to
Analysis Studio) allow you to easily create multi-page,
filtered, and prompted crosstabs.
