Glossary-1 Glossary axis One of the three directions of a sheet. Items that you choose for a query appear in the axes. See: top axis, side axis, page axis, axis item. axis item An item appearing in either the top axis, side axis, or page axis of a sheet. In a table, items can appear only in the top axis or page axis; in a crosstab, items can appear in any axis. See: axis, data item. business area A set of related information with a common business purpose, organized into folders. Defined in the End User Layer using Discoverer Administrator. See: End User Layer, folder. calculation A mathematical formula performed on one or more items. Discoverer Desktop enables you to build complex calculations. collapse To remove all levels of related items from below a selected item. In effect, to undo a drill-down. See: drill down. conceptually identical object Conceptually Identical Objects are elements in different EULs that refer to the same business objects, e.g, folders, item-classes, hierarchies. When identifying Conceptually Identical Objects, Discoverer Desktop uses either Headings or Identifiers to match elements. condition Criteria for filtering data displayed in a sheet. Discoverer Desktop enables you to combine several conditions. crosstab A sheet layout that arranges items in a matrix of rows and columns. Items appear in both the top and side axes. Use a crosstab to display summary information and show how one item relates to another, such as sales by region by month. A crosstab is sometimes called a matrix. See: table. database A collection of related data organized for quick access. Glossary-2 data item The item expressing the relationship between a top axis item and a side axis item. Only items which have a data item in common can appear opposite each other in the top and side axes. Applies only to crosstab-layout sheets. A data item is sometimes called a measure. See: axis item, datapoint. datapoint The value of a data item, as displayed in a cell of a sheet. A datapoint reflects the relationship between intersecting axis items in a crosstab. See: data item. drill To expand an item to include items related to it. Discoverer Desktop may re-query the database. See: drill down, drill up. drill down To expand an item to include related items lower than it in the hierarchy. Discoverer Desktop may re-query the database. See: drill, drill up, collapse. drill up To expand an item to include the next related item above it in the hierarchy. Discoverer Desktop may re-query the database. See: drill, drill down, collapse. End User Layer™ A layer of information that Discoverer Desktop uses to hide the complexities and details of the underlying database. The End User Layer makes it easier and faster to create queries because it organizes the data to reflect particular business areas. The same data can also be used for more than one business situation. The End User Layer is defined using Discoverer Administrator. See: database, business area. exception Formatting that highlights data meeting certain criteria you define. For example, you can highlight names of sales people exceeding their quotas in blue. Discoverer Desktop enables you to display several exceptions at once. folder A collection of related items within a business area. Folders are defined in the End User Layer using Discoverer Administrator. See: item, business area. group sort Formatting that suppresses duplicate values for an item. Applies only to table-layout sheets. For example, if you group sort an item called Region, information will appear grouped under such headings as East, West, North, and South. A group sort is sometimes called break format. hierarchy The relationship among items. You can drill up or drill down to related items. identifier Identifiers are unique names that Discoverer Desktop uses to identify business area objects e.g. folders, items, calculations. When matching elements common to different EULs, Discoverer Desktop uses identifiers to locate elements in different EULs that refer to the same business objects also known as Conceptually Identical Objects.
