Best practices for using BMC Remedy Smart Reporting
This topic describes the best practices for using BMC Remedy Smart Reporting effectively when performing the following tasks:
Creating custom reports
The best practices for creating custom reports are as follows:
- Do not modify out-of-the-box reports provided with BMC Remedy Smart Reporting. However, if you choose to modify a report, ensure that you first create and save a copy of it.
- For better performance, create multiple small reports with only a few columns per use case, rather than creating a large report with many columns to solve multiple use cases.
- While designing a report, we recommend using filter with smaller time frames, for example, 1 day or 1 week.
- We recommend designing a report by using a database with less data in a test environment first, and then importing the report to the production environment.
- We recommend not using Remedy Smart Reporting as an ETL tool which typically deals with high data volume.
