In some embodiments, a web-browser-based presentation and report requests over a network may be facilitated. A request for a first report may be obtained from a user system through a web browser. The first report request may comprise a selection of one or more template or filter combinations for formatting the first report. Control of the web browser may be returned to enable a user to use the web browser to perform one or more other tasks while the first report request is being processed. The one or more other tasks may comprise requesting another report or other task. The first report request may be processed by obtaining and formatting the first report in accordance with the one or more selected template or filter combinations of the first report request. The formatted first report may be transmitted over the network to the web browser of the user system.

System and method for network user interface report formatting

A network-based system for enabling users connected over the network to an OLAP system to select formatting options for reports requested for processing by the OLAP system. The system enables a user to select the format for each report in a workbook or for a stand-alone report. The format specified may be multiple levels of format that are applied in a hierarchical manner including global formats that apply to all reports in a workbook, report formats which apply to specific reports in the workbooks, attribute/element/metric formats which apply to specific attributes, elements, and metrics of a report, and value formats which apply to specific values within an element of a report. The formats specified may also comprise merged report formats, combined grid and graphs within a report and an autoformat that enables each recipient of the report to specify the format in which that recipient views the report when the report is received.

System and method for network user interface OLAP report formatting

A system and method for enabling users of a multi-user network-based OLAP system to present reports generated by the OLAP system using a spreadsheet application within a network user interface. A client-side network user interface is presented to a user over the network so that the user may submit a request for a report. The server-side system receives the request and processes the report. When the server-side system completes the report processing, the report is communicated to the client-side network user interface. The report may then be presented to the user(s) that submitted requests for that report. The client-side network user interface comprises a spreadsheet application that may be used to display the report to the user.
