Difference between Express authoring mode and Professional
authoring mode?

Answer Posted / 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.

Hi All, I have 1.6 years of experience in cognos in India. I always wanted to do a MS program to earn some money in US. But I think I am little late in taking the decision. As If I have to write my GRE it will be August or September of 2012 and will have to apply for fall 2013 as fall 2012 admissions are almost done now. So my concern is how will be my career do if my MS is at this stage,. i,.e. 3 years experience in Cognos and 2 years MS program in and again looking for job in U.S. Have I been too late in taking the call? I heard that MIS (Managing Information Systems) is having very good placements now. So guys, please advice me in taking the decision to have a good career and also in terms of earning money as I have few financial problems to solve (which I am hoping to solve when I get job in US after completion of my MS program). Thanks a lot friends. I really appreciate and thank one and all for their valuable comments in this site.

Hi, I have Cognos 7.0 Impromptu reports and these reports have been created with the Mainframe datasource. Now the business needs these reports should be upgraded but with Oracle datasource. So what's the idea, first we should migrate these reports into ReportNet? then in that case what we will do with the Impromptu Catalog? Second, suppose we need to migrate these reports into Cognos 8 (may be 8.4) then how we will do that? do we need to create a FM Model for these reports. Please advice!
