Metadata model

The metadata model is used for the included application reports and to author custom reports.

This table lists the packages that are available:

Metadata package Description
WFMBurst The WFMBurst package is used for building burst reports. Burst reports can be displayed on users' launch pad when they access the application. The sample Cognos launch pad components use the WFMBurst package.

The WFMBurst package uses a similar structure to the WFMStandard package, but it handles user and team information differently. This package organizes the data by burst key instead of filtering for the user running the report. This allows a burst report to be executed once with the output tailored to multiple users.

See WFMBurst package.

WFMReportAudit The WFMReportAudit package is used to report on the usage of other reports, such as how long a report takes to execute.

See WFMReportAudit package.

WFMRetail The WFMRetail package is used for developing burst reports specifically for the Labor Forecasting and Scheduling Optimization (LFSO) module.

See WFMRetail package.

WFMStandard The WFMStandard package is used for developing general-purpose reports and queries. This is the default package that is loaded when creating custom reports and queries.

See WFMStandard package.

WFMSystem The WFMSystem package is used to report on system administration data, such as audit data and import and export processes.

See WFMSystem package.
