What is a Report Author license?

A description of the Report Author license, selecting the user and the responsibilities.

Report Author:
  • Report Authors have a license to build their own reports and dashboards.  They can also add outside datasets to build on.
  • Report Authors are given access to all the standard Curvo datasets. This includes:
      • baseline_transactions: All submitted and enriched data
      • linked_contract_data: Submitted contract data linked to purchases (submitted and enriched)
      • contract_item_purchases: Submitted contract data 
  • Detailed Report Author User Guides: Quicksight User Guide

 

Selecting a Report Author:

  • A report author should be a user that is familiar with the data.
  • Experience in visualization tools is a plus (Power BI, Tableau, etc.) but is NOT necessary.
  • Above all else a good report author will have a willingness to learn and a curiosity to dig into their own data to find new trends and outliers.  

 

Report Author Responsibilities:

  • Be the point of contact within their organization to create, edit, and publish dashboards.
  • Share and export the dashboards to the appropriate users. 
  • Maintain custom datasets and any analysis that are created from them.
