Collaboration Overview

Powerful Social Networking

• The Collaboration utility provides a powerful social networking tool for creating annotation markers inside of reports and slides, and then engaging coworkers in conversations regarding those annotations.
• Conversations can be associated locally with a specific report or slide, or can be associated globally with a specific data model.
• Conversation panels can be accessed easily from multiple entry points including Backstage, Feeds, Data Discovery and Story Board.
• Comments by recipients are auto-threaded under the main conversation, allowing all recipients to view the original message and all subsequent comments.

Quick Creation of Messages

• Base your conversations on any of five annotation marker types (report, slide, component, dimension, cell).
• Create conversations quickly by selecting recipients from a list of people in your organization or from an external social network such as Yammer.
• Broadcast messages to predefined recipient groups.
• Tag your conversations using predefined tags or customized tags.
• Attach report images, component images, audio recordings or other files to your conversations.

Search, Filter and Sort at a Click

• Search conversation threads by recipients, subjects or tags.
• Arrange conversations in folders according to author, recipient, creation date, tags or type.
• Display the source annotation instantly from within the conversation.
• Swap instantly from folder view to individual drill-down view.
• Erase old conversations with a click.
• View graphic timelines of multiple conversations or individual conversation threads.
