SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.1 - Webi - Summary Cells
Tuesday, June 23, 2009
It's been so many months since SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.1 has been launched. But since most of our projects run on XI R2, I did not explore much on XI R3.1. Recently I got a trial version of SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.1 installed.
Ok, let us jump to what I wanted to write about. XI 3.1 webintelligence has added 3 new predefined cells to be used in reports.
1) Query Summary
2) Prompt Summary
3) Report Filter Summary
We were able to achieve the same thing by writing some cumbersome formulas. But adding these as a simple drag and drop option is a cool thing. It helps much more in promoting the tool as "casual user friendly" tool. It basically helps the dependency of an IT person or time to learn to use the formulas.
These kind of intuitive features would increase the adaptability of the tool by the business users.

Hi mohanraj,

Bibek, you can download the trial version BO XI 3.1 Edge edition from the above link
Hi,
Thanks for the quick response. But the thing is I've tried this link already, but when I click on "Free Trial" link it takes me to a page for sign up or sign in. When I sign in or sign up the BO on demand version opens in the web-page itself and no download option shows up.
Is there any solution for it coz I want to install it in my system.
Thanks
Hi,
Sorry to bother you, but I figured it out. The links were exchanged for the Edge and On demand . I thought I tried both link but today I got the download link.
Thanks anyway.
Bibek, Good finding! May be you need to intimate the same to SAP.
All the best learning!
