[edit] Info

• 0003183: (* DR/KPI) "Report and DR/KPI Builder (RDB)" (research if this option is feasible)

!!! This is related to Flex Report task: 0002608: [Flex Rep] Code this. http://ct.jaguarfreight.com/mantis/view.php?id=2608

[edit] Core need

• A. see 3003 Analytics Reports MAIN WIKI

• B. see 3131 DR KPI Framework (for non AR reports)

Please consider both needs above at the same time and create one solution that would address both (if possible).

[edit] Notes from Solution Architect

• Tracie had a vision of a broader solution (wizard) that can create any report not only satisfy Marcs needs above . Call it DR/KPI and Report builder. I suggest to be careful to expand the scope so much.

I suggest considering options:

[A] Use Crystal Reports

• Pros: very flexible, can be coded quickly, produce professional looking reports (pdf), can start automating immediately
• Cons: some programming required most of the time, “in system” reports are not possible

[B] Use another existing framework (say Java library)

[C] Write our own “Reports/KPI builder”
