Custom Reports
You can create additional custom reports using the BIRT report designer, which is integrated in Eclipse. Details on BIRT and on how to use the tools are described in the BIRT documentation.
The CentraSite Eclipse GUI integrates the following functionality into the BIRT report designer:
*Dialogs and functions for defining data sources that connect your reports to a CentraSite registry.
*Dialogs and functions for building data sets that specify the data to retrieve from the registry.
Customized BIRT reports can be deployed to CentraSite, linked to object types, and previewed from the CentraSite Eclipse GUI. But if a BIRT report contains subreports, then the report cannot be deployed to CentraSite. Any report that has been deployed to CentraSite can be copied from the CentraSite repository to your Eclipse workspace where you can update it with the BIRT report designer, if required.
