Creating Report Scorecards - InetSoft's reporting software allows users to create report scorecards with the purpose of monitoring key metrics in real-time. A scorecard is used to keep track of certain parameters (e.g., Sales Revenue). Multiple users can monitor these parameters from the Report Portal. These parameters (metrics) can also be measured at regular intervals (triggers). They can be checked against certain conditions (thresholds, time comparisons, custom business logic etc.) to which they must comply. If they don't, specified actions can be automatically taken (email notifications, etc.). The metric, trigger, conditions and other settings are collectively handled as a target. A scorecard is thus a collection of one or more targets. The following are the basic steps involved in setting up a scorecard. (Each step is explained in detail in the following sections). Note: The Scheduler must be running in order to use scorecards. 1. Create a data asset in the data worksheet, which retrieves the data to be monitored. 2. Create a metric: Specify one of the numeric fields in the asset as the metric. 3. Assign a detail report for the metric. 4. Create a target based on this metric...

The user controls the simple to use interface and can generate sophisticated reports in minutes, not hours....
Custom Report Portal - Style Intelligence gives you the flexibility to implement your own custom report portal. However, in most cases it is usually easier and less time-consuming to customize the default report portal. The reporting portal consists of a number of pre-configured themes. A theme is a combination of tab styles and color schemes (e.g., Windows-Orange). You can set the portal theme in the Enterprise Manager (see the Portal section in the Administration Reference). By replacing the appropriate CSS files, it is possible to customize these themes. For example, to customize the Windows-Orange theme, create the structure css/windows/orange/theme.css under the “{sree home}/portal” folder. The theme.css file should contain all of the appropriate classes for the different portal components. You can add a default theme.css file in the “{sree home}/portal/css” folder to set default properties for all themes. The commented headings in the CSS file indicate the component to which the classes belong. e.g., “css for isii_JSTree” for all the CSS classes which modify the repository tree...
Custom Report Security Integration - InetSoft's reporting software allows users to integrate custom report security options, leading to a highly adapatable solution that can be incorporated into existing systems. Custom security integration is used under the following circumstances: • Your users/roles/groups have already been defined in your existing systems, which you wish to directly import into InetSoft, and InetSoft has no built-in mechanism of directly accessing this information, e.g., DB, Web Service (SOAP). • You wish to modularize your security into authentication and authorization and use different providers for each, e.g., read users/roles from LDAP (LDAP Security Provider) but write InetSoft-related permissions to disk (Default File Security Provider). This could be a requirement when your LDAP server has write restrictions. The recommended approach for implementing custom security (as of version 9.0) is to use the Composite Security Provider. The composite security provider modularizes security into 'Authentication' and 'Authorization'. Authentication deals with getting user/role/group information and validating login requests. Authorization deals with setting and getting report related permissions...
Custom Reporting Solutions - The importance of implementing custom reporting solutions within a business has grown considerably over time, as businesses need a powerful tool to not only manage and manipulate data, but also to be able to present that information effectively. With reporting solutions being equally important across all facets of businesses, a complete custom reporting solution needs to provide access to a wide range of data sources, must have the right mix of features and functionality, and must be easy to use.

Customizable Reports - The customizable report is an important concept in Style Intelligence. We have shown three ways to pass parameters to a report, either interactively or through static configuration files. In subsequent sections, we will demonstrate more ways to pass parameters and handle the requests. Since the replet architecture automates the entire parameter prompting and submission process, all a replet needs to do is declare the parameters it needs and build a report object accordingly. This provides the report developers with a powerful tool to create sophisticated reports. As a generic API, the parameterization support can be used in any way a programmer chooses. However, there is a danger of overusing this feature and making the report too complicated to access. The following are some guidelines to help create more consistent and easy to use interactive reports. • Initialization parameters should be used to configure static information. Normally, they should not be used to change the basic content of the report. Some obvious examples are parameters for a database connection, CORBA server locations and report template resource names...
