3.21.2.1 Creating a BIRT report

Using the BIRT report designer, you can create your own reports which will display specific information from these tables.

In the installation directory, in:

plugins/com.bredexsw.guidancer.reporting.birt.viewer

there is the directory reports.

In this directory, the templates for the reports available in the ITE are stored. There is also a library which uses the Database as a data source and contains data sets (SQL queries) to this Database . The following information is contained in the library:

Datasets:
there are views to show details from the four tables for reporting in the Database .
Report parameters:
These are parameters for the Database queries that can be used to limit the scope of a report.
Report items:
These are examples of pre-defined tables and graphs which can be used in other reports.
Master pages:
These define the layout of the reports
Themes:
The themes contain information about colors, fonts etc. The themes are in the ite.css file.
