Cognos Refresher Training Prerequisites
We are not currently able to offer this as a classroom course but are offering a virtual alternative https://training.cam.ac.uk/course/CogIntro, you would be very welcome to book onto the Q&A webinar (session 2) if you would like to brush up on your skills.
Have you previously attended Cognos training but not used the reporting tool since and would like to start using the tool again? If so then this course will enable you to get re-acquainted with Cognos..
Note: What it does not do is go through in detail the outputs of each individual report. Less experienced users of the Grants and/or General Ledger modules in CUFS are recommended to attend instead one of the following courses:
- Grants Part 2: Grant reports in Cognos
- General Ledger Reporting
These two courses not only cover the mechanics of running the reports but also more advice on how to interpret and use the information as well as discussion about when to use which report.
Aimed at staff who have attended Cognos training previously but have not used the reporting tool for some time.
There is a separate course for those who have never used Cognos before. Or wish to run reports but would like to understand the data more. Refer to related courses.
- You must already have access to Cognos and the relevant folder (Grants/General Ledger)
- Previously attended a Cognos training course
