This session will cover:

• How to create several types of Shared Elements
• How to reuse them
• How to edit & modify your Shared Elements
• The pros & cons of using Shared Elements
• Any differences between 4.2 and 4.3 Shared Elements

1:35 – 2:05 pm | Creating Fast Visual BI Apps with BO and Squirrel 365 – John Zbyszinski, InfoSol Inc.

Using Buisness Objects Webi, let’s take a report as our data source and build a Squirrel App that is not only interactive, but is able to pass parameters to filter the data coming from the report.

2:15 – 2:45 pm | How to Develop Webi Reports Faster in the New BI 4.3 UI – Runali Ghosh, InfoSol Inc.

WebI 4.3 comes with a brand new FIORI-based user interface for developing reports and visualizations. But it also offers some cool new features and functionalities. In this session, I will share how you can leverage some of them to build reports with more efficiency.
