Methods and systems for locating related reports are provided. A report
application identifies a first report to process along with preference
selections associated with finding related reports to the first report
being processed. A data preparation application performs an initial
filter against a report data store using the first report and the
preference selections. The data preparation application passes candidate
reports and the first report to a data mining application. The data
mining application uses the first report, the candidate reports, and a
report usage data store to find relationships and associations with
additional reports. In one embodiment, the additional reports are ranked
and organized before being presented to the report application as related
reports to the first report.
