Collaboration: BEx Broadcaster

BEx Broadcaster Functions for Exporting and Printing
Generate PDF documents, or print using the BEx Broadcaster. The BEx Broadcaster is available in the BEx Report Designer and in the BEx Web Application Designer, and from the context menu of BEx Web applications or ad hoc analyses created using the BEx Web Analyzer. Use information broadcasting to distribute the results of planning, or forward them for further editing.
Send Broadcast to printer Printer
Broadcast PDF file pdf file
What are the usage scenarios for information broadcasting with BI Integrated Planning (NW7.0)?
With BI/BI Integrated Planning you can choose between two end-user interfaces: Excelbased (BEx Analyzer) or Web-based (BEx Web). Planning applications are either BEx Analyzer workbooks or BI Web templates for entering data Standard information broadcasting functions are also available for planning applications and data entry applications and can be used to distribute planning templates to users
1.BEx
Web Precalculate planning template and distribute a link (e-mail, BEx portfolio, KM folder) If a file is distributed (PDF, ZIP, mHTML), the template is switched to read-only (data entry no longer possible)
2.BEx
Analyzer Precalculate workbook and distribute XLS file (e-mail, BEx portfolio, KM folder). Available as of NW7.0 SPS9
3.Bursting (BEx Web and BEx Analyzer) Allows you to determine recipient based on master data attributes (for example, cost center person responsible) Allows you to set variables through precalculation or links based on master data attributes
Additional option: Use collaboration room infrastructure to organize access to your planning-related tasks (for example, BEx portfolio with data entry sheets and reports, documents, news)
Collaboration: Status and Tracking System
Use the BW-BPS Status and Tracking System to manage the approval of planning.

Agility
From static annual budgeting cycles to agile and adaptive planning React to changing environments with continuous planning cycles Dynamic and adaptive planning models can be quickly adopted using variables Reduce IT bottleneck by delegating modeling tasks to business Local models complement centrally managed plans BEx tools for business users layered tool approach reduces load on IT Supported by security concept
Flexibility
BI Integrated Planning has a flexible, model-driven architecture. Flexibility is built into various layers.
Data modeling layer Calculation layer User interface
Flexibility
Development options for planning relevant exits in:
