The next thing I want to show is that I prepared here some data sources for trend reports that show how FOIA requests are growing over time as stated here. And I have daily, weekly, and monthly. I will choose weekly because based on this, I will create a new interactive report and one analysis report that is not tabular. So let’s see how that will go.

I will choose this one. I will not save this interactive report — I already showed you how you can save it. I will go and create — sorry, I need to create a new data source.

OK, the query is returning results. Now we will finish that part and go to customize the model. The analysis part is OK. Those are the measures, those are the dimensions here. We don’t want default aggregation — those are already aggregated through the query. We can do aggregation through interactive report as well if we don’t do it in the query. So there is that — that is a possibility as well.

OK, now from this one I will quickly create one interactive report. You will see the same thing again and then I will show you another thing that will be more interesting. So I will change to use this data source DS2. This is week — requests created per week — and this is the number of cumulative requests. So this can be done daily, monthly, annually, however we like. And I think that is bringing good info about this from the same data source.

Now I will create — and that was this report. So here are measures and dimensions and we can create a tabular report like previously. But we don’t want to do that. We want to create a chart. So we switch to chart format and it’s selected column. We will put in X this week start and in the measures we will put those two measures. I will switch the order because we want to see the progress, the trend of adding requests to the system. So this ad hoc module is capable of doing this analysis reports as well.
