Trend Report and Consolidation Trend Report

Hi HFR Gurus,
I have a requirement to develop Trend Reports. Could you please explain about Trend Reports? How to Develop a Trend report and what are the requirements should meet? What are the columns and rows should consider to develop? What is difference between Trend Report and Consolidation Trend Report?
Thanks
Challenger

This is a common discussin here. Have a read of this: Re: Very Urgent FR Report
But also I would ask the business/client for a template. Each business could have a different understanding of a Trend Report. There are no set rules for having certain dimensions on rows/columns/pages.
Cheers,
Mehmet

Mac OSX Maverics (Ver 10.9.4) Reboots after installing and removing Trend Micro Smart Surfing

Hi,
I have recently installed Trend Micro Smart surfing with serial number starting with TCEF. I am currently running my mac book pro on OSX Maverics Version 10.9.4. As soon as I installed the software, I got the error message that the software is not compatible with this version of OS. I went to applications and selected Trend Micro Smart surfing and moved it to trash and also emptied the trash. After this my laptop is rebooting frequently. I even went to safe mode and then into
system preferences ---> users and groups---> Login items and found nothing related to Trend Micro smart surfing. I have also tried to reinstall max osx and still having reboot issue. I have a lot of data and I am afraid I will loose this. Can anyone please help me out.
Thank you in Advance for all the help.

Uninstall the Trend Micro product by following the instructions on whichever of the pages linked below is applicable:
Removing Trend Micro Titanium Internet Security
Uninstalling Trend Micro Smart Surfing
Restart. If the program was incompletely removed, reinstall it and start over. Back up all data before making any changes.

Usage Reports and Popularity Trends

So I've set up my site and the Search Crawl is running. I've also got the Reporting feature activated and configured Usage and Health Data Collection. The WSS_Admin and WSS_WPG have access to the Log files.
However, the Popularity Reports are either disabled on some lists and libraries or the Popular Items continually shows NIL data. Likewise, the Popularity Trends and Usage Reports under Site Settings also show NIL data. I know that data is being
collected though, as the Search Reports do contain some (limited) data.
Is there a guide somewhere that shows exactly how to set this up because I can't seem to get it to work no matter what steps I follow.

1st thing make sure you properly configured the Usage and health "http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee663480.aspx"

If you are an artist, then you should have contact information for someone at iTunes that handled getting your music on iTunes.

Hello Jason,
Thank you very much for welcoming me to your expert discussion :) I feel to be in the right place, at the right time. Thank you also for answering question beyond your scope here, much appreciated. The information received will help me to go further as such I have submitted a 5 start rating for your first reply.
That sounds promising about the LMS part so yes, I stay tuned and wait patiently.
Ok, now let’s revert to the actual topic discussed here. Cisco Prime Service Catalog and Process Orchestrator solutions I have briefly read up on this on CCO (where elseJ) and picked out the following quote
---- Quote from the Cisco Prime Service Catalog Data Sheet
Today’s end users want self-service and easy access to IT tools and services.
Simultaneously, organizations are seeking ways to extend their cloud management
platforms beyond self-service delivery of virtual machines and infrastructure resources
while increasing their use of cloud-based solutions to enhance business agility and effectiveness.
Cisco Prime™ Service Catalog offers tremendous benefits to organizations that want to unify the ways in
which all types of IT services are ordered and fulfilled, not just infrastructure requests
---- un quote ---
I try to understand what (at high level of course) happens in the back ground when an order is raised and which vendor solution your product can interact with.
As mentioned in the quoted text, this service catalogue goes beyond the standard infrastructure.
Let’s say, a user wants to deploy a new email services, or in your example, extends or create a new web-portal (i.e. for HR to view and manage holiday, staff absence and benefits).
Your solution will need to interact somehow with the 3rd party vendor application that is capable building such portal I believe.
Without disclosing to many information, I assume the portal is linked to backend VM,s that spin up requested resources (and more magic of course). Perhaps I am mixing this up with another cisco product where a user can go on the portal and spin up virtual Firewalls, virtual Routers can be provisioned in now time.
Out if interest; Is this product also known as Mozart? (project code within Cisco?)
I hope query is ok.
Best wishes
Markus

Kind regards,
   Florian

Thanks very much for taking the time to post the info Florian. I will update this thread as well if I run into any new information.
Do we have any idea on SAP's direction for Product Definition? PD is still version 2.0 and I heard that PD functionality will be incorporated into PPM 5.0 which does make a lot of sense. I very briefly went through the notes and config doc in this post and did not get the impression that PPM has any idea and concept management capabilities.

Scorecards and Dashboards

Scorecards and Dashboards
According to Harvard Business Review, Balanced Scorecard concept is the most influential management idea in the past 75 years.
The performance of an organization is tracked against four key perspectives such as Finance, Customers, Internal Processes and finally Learning, Innovation and Growth. These perspectives are divided into multiple sets of Key Performance Indicators ( KPIs ) and grouped against these perspectives and further broken from top level to the employee level KPIs. World over companies are moving towards implementing enterprise wide organizational Balanced Scorecard.
Simplicity, personalization and empowerment are the keys while building Agent Dashboards. These goals are achieved through the application of Business Intelligence ( BI ) concepts. A contact center performance is an aggregation of every agent performance.
An Agent should be able to customize and get the unified view of the aggregated metrics and track them on daily basis. How much he has achieved with respect to target? How his performance benchmarked with respect to overall call center performance. Is there performance improvement over a period of time? He can drill down and see which particular KPI is bringing his overall score down and he can see how he has or has not been able to improve his performance over a period of time.
A Supervisor should be able to see how agents under him are performing. His Dashboard should show an aggregated score of all his agents and simultaneously showing tabular information of comparative scores of all agents working under him. He can drill down on agent score who are not performing well. He can see individual KPIs of agents and study whether there are improvements over a period of time under the respective KPI.
Manager would like to see dashboards of aggregated scores of supervisors on weekly basis rather than daily basis. He can drill down till agents individual KPI level if he desires. A manager could also drill down against different channels and see the performance of different supervisors under different channels.
Call Center head would like to see the aggregated performance of his senior managers and across channels and will be interested to track performance against KPIs on monthly basis. He can drill down from manager level right up to the agent level and their individual KPIs to see where the actual pains are located.
Quality Managers would like to see how agents are performing against quality related KPIs. He would further like to analyze poor performing KPIs against type of service requests, type of channel and may be against important set of clients so that specific training programs could be designed for specific sets of agents rather than a plane blanket approach where every one is trained for everything.
In all the performance metrics could be analyzed against multiple dimensions such as channels customers, type of services, location etc. Users down the line are empowered to analyze the data and able to get operational and strategic insights. Hundreds of variants of Dashboards and Reports could be created from a simple single user friendly interactive interface
All above could be simply achieved through web browser and single user interactive interface. Every person in the organization can personalize the dashboard or reports from this single user interface. The power of analysis is coupled into the reporting and dashboard. It is this Business Intelligence capability that creates the unique customer experience in getting the insights of business.

I've taken out the hdd and put it back it and it doesnt seem to be the problem. Is there anyone who can tell me exactly whats wrong with it?

A1286 isn't specific enough, I need more information for a exact model match.

If I know the exact model, then I can tell if that came originally with Snow Leopard, we can install Linux.
Would it be possible for me to format the mac hdd from my pc?
Not with Windows, Linux might, but it would be a difficult.
Mac's as you know have EFI, which is loaded from a hidden partition on the boot drive.
Only OS X, their install disks (and 10.7+ Recovery HD parititon) can format the drive properly for a Mac to use, as they install EFI which the hardware requires for the at boot keys to be able to select Linux and install rEFIt in EFI firmware.
If your Mac meets 10.6 qualifications, then the 10.6 install disk can be ordered, the instruction for creating a dual boot system with Linux Mint.
Of course there is a problem, if the machine is too new, then hardware drivers to work with Linux might not have been circulating to use.
Apple doesn't supply the hardware drivers for Linux or anyone, so it takes hackers to get them and they have to have Mac's. (they rather use generic PC's)
Older Mac's pre-2011 I know where the drivers are at, on Ubuntu's site (Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu) however I don't know if latest versions of Ubuntu/Mint work with those drivers, I'll asume they do.
Hardware drivers are important because the machine won't work well without them, like no Wifi, video screen options etc. one just gets the bare minimal use.
Interest in running Linux on Mac's died when Apple released OS X 10.7, as the Recovery HD partition created a obstacle and Apple seems to be heading towards a closed system like on iPads and iPhones.
Linux needs open hardware like generic PC's, and the trend from Microsoft is like Apple, closing up hardware from anything but Windows running.
If you haven't installed Linux on a generic PC, I suggest you try that first as on Mac's it's the most difficult.

BlackBerry Link and syncing Contacts, Calendar and Tasks with stand-alone desktop installation of Outlook 2010?

I have used Blackberries in business since the beginning. Fantastic products!
Sadly after spending the better part of Feb 6th transitioning from Torch to Z10 I have had to abandon the effort and request an RMA number to return the Z10.
Here is why:
"Link" appears to be focussed on syncing documents and media like content such as music and movies but does not, from what I can tell, sync Outlook Contacts, Calendar entries or Tasks. I have never bothered putting music or movies on a BB... never had the time to fuss with such... however, I use, edit and sync my Contacts, Calendar and Tasks between my Torch and my desktop PC every day... as in EVERY day!
From a review of postings on various forums there does not appear to be a solution in the works to this problem and the trend appears to be to use a Cloud based email or service to host such "PIM" information and then sync the handheld to the Cloud repository. This method MAY be suitable for some forms of info but it is not suitable to post such personal info on the cloud... it needs to stay on the desktop and in the handheld device, both of which are password protected and looked after carefully.
This is an odd situation, BB (RIM) cut their teeth on pages, emails, BBM and great cell calls, mainly in a business environment. Many small business users live and die on their BB. They do not run Exchange Server... they run Outlook stand alone on a desktop. To remove this functionality from the Z10 (BB10 overall perhaps) seems at best to be a serious oversight.
I wish BB the best with the Z10 and hope to see it do well. For me, I had to make a choice between the efficiency and effectiveness of syncing Outlook Contacts, Calendar and Tasks with the Torch, or hand feeding and maintaining thousands of constantly changing entries into what is undoubtedly a more powerful and wonderful looking Z10. Efficiency and effectiveness won over brawn and beauty. The Torch is back on line... It's a tool... a really great tool! Tomorrow it will process a hundred emails, numerous SMS messages, a few BBM's, keep me on time and feed me a bunch of useful phone numbers and addresses as it has for a couple of years now. It will also spend an hour or so teathered to my laptop at a remote location where there is cell coverage but no internet. It will NOT display any movies, tweats, twits, or facebook stuff that I won't have time to look at anyway. The fast, powerful, shiny Z10 is heading in an RMA bag back to Telus.
I have a sort of sick feeling in my gut and hope to be able to sync again in the future!

my feelings and my situation excatly

How can I return my Curve, too many problems syncing and died on me with the last updates. no more patience, Canada Bell

By the way your link for warranty do not work on your website....???
Should I return it to Bell for General Failure ?

Unfortunately, I'm in the same club, and also seeking a solution to the problem. I have approx 8000 songs and my ipod is a 3 mo. old 80 GB. I think I'm stuck working this out with Apple directly, which I'm dreading..and I'll be damned if I'm paying shipping charges for an IPOD that BEST BUY can't exchange beyond the 30 days post purchase, and can't do any more due to Apple's mandated service process. If a prompt resoluiotion with no further cost me is unavailable, I'd sooner throw the Ipod in the garbage, cancel my plans to by the Iphone, and live my life Apple free. Steven Jobs may know innovation and technology, but his knowledge of customer service could be his undoing one day.
