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

Core need

• A. see Analytics Reports MAIN WIKI

• B. see 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).

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”
