Magazine

Introduction

Magazine is a CCH Tagetik reporting solution which allows users to create periodic publications on specific topics (e.g. KPI Analysis, revenues analysis), using forms. It works according to a subscription model, in which publications are automatically sent to interested users.

Publications

The forms are published by manually or automatically running the Magazine_issue_creator data processing.

In particular, this data processing makes it possible to perform the following activities:

• periodically check the magazines to be published
• run the forms on which the magazines are based and make them available, for each subscribed user

The publication start and end dates and specific issue parameters can be set in the data processing settings.

The user roles associated with the Magazine solution are outlined below.
