The cognos impromptu tutorial will allow PowerUsers to query data without any programming knowledge. They will still need to have knowledge about the data itself, however. Impromptu stores meta data in subject related folders. This is what will be used to develop the query for the report. There is a tutorial supplied with the Cognos documentation, just look under " Help' on menu. It is worth
