Report Scope Management
A Report Scope is used for a flexible configuration of data sources (Database Connection) that are used for creating evaluations.
Report Scopes are connected to databases of type OLAP. In the following image you can see that Report Scope A is connected to three OLAP databases, whereas Report Scope B is connected to only two OLAP databases.
If no Scope is configured, then the Default Scope default_report is used.
