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.

Core need

Below is formulated by Marc and recorded by Alex.

• A. see Analytics Reports MAIN WIKI

• B. [need#2] We want to have multiple DRs/KPIs in the system
  • See specs for Arden cost per pound, Cost per unit, etc

• C. [need#3] Please consider both needs 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”
