models contain specific formatting and data processing logic. Standard models provide advantages over existing Report
Manager templates in that they require less time to configure and will incorporate complex reporting and analysis
capabilities not available in the Report Manager application. Standard models are developed and aligned to specific
business needs.
The following standard model is included with the InfoCenter Suite 1.6.0 EU solution:
• Emissions Summary Report:
Generates a report that tracks greenhouse emissions based on energy consumption. This model allows the user
to define the conversion factors for the different greenhouse emissions and create as many templates as
necessary to meet their requirements.
NEW FEATURE – Export/Import of Report Templates– (Template Mobility)
The InfoCenter Report Manager application now has a template export/import feature that allows you to transfer custom
templates from one InfoCenter Suite system to another. This gives the user the ability to reuse previously designed
templates from existing systems in new systems, significantly reducing setup time. Template mobility will allow branches
to share templates among jobs and with other branches.
