Adding a Custom Report Template
CentraSite reports are designed using the BIRT (Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools), an open source, Eclipse-based reporting system that comprises an Eclipse-based report designer and a runtime component, i.e. a viewer. Report template are deployed as BIRT report design files (.rptdesign).To create a custom report template, you must perform the following high-level steps:
1. Create a new rptdesign template file using the BIRT Report Designer.
During this step, you create a new
rptdesign template file, wherein you specify the query for generating a report and, select the fields and layout by which you would like to expose the report. For procedures, see
Creating a New RPTDESIGN Template File.
2. Create a new Report Template in CentraSite Control
During this step, you specify the details of the template and upload the
rptdesign file with which you would like to generate the report. For procedures, see
Creating a New Report Template.
