Hi there,

I am a practiioner to Cognos TM1. I can see 3 buttons in cube viewer.

Please let me know the difference between Slice,Snapshot and Active form.

Hi Shraven,
It's really good practice to use the manuals and help that come with the product, this kind of information is pretty easy to find, or you could press the buttons and find out for your self
Briefly
Slice is the view exactly like you see in front of you connected to TM1 with DBRWs
Snapshot is the same as a slice but with no DBRW, i.e. values only
Dynamic Slice is the a slice where row and column headers can be drilled and formats set, etc.
Cheers
