Smart Reporting

1. For most applications, reporting is a separate or add-on entity. CLOBS ERP's reporting is based on the data dictionary.
2. As the report viewer has access to the definitions, this allows drill-down to any entity referenced and drill-across to entities where the reported entity is used.
3. The links are automatically generated, while ensuring adherence to security and access definitions.
4. The report viewer provides for the selection of data, sequencing, grouping, totaling and display formatting.
5. Reporting output can be viewed on screen before sending it to a printer, an email or fax address or generating files in many different formats (e.g. Excel text formats, HTML, XML, PDF and Postscript).

Business Views

1. Business Views are designed for end users and allow information to be accessed using standard SQL based tools without the need to create SQL table joins.
2. The majority of Business Views are generated based on the Application Dictionary.

Drill-down and Drill-across

1. All reporting output allows users to drill-down or drill-across to any entity referenced within the context of the report.
2. When using drill-down, a new report is generated based on the entity selected.
3. In an Order report, for example, the user can drill-down to generate a report showing the order lines that make up the order.
4. Drill-across allows the user create a new report about a related entity on a report. For example, in a Product report the user may wish to see order lines for a particular product.
5. The user can identify the drill-across entity (order lines) and then click on the product name to display a separate report of order lines for the particular product selected.
6. Following the Web-UI convention, users can drill-down to any blue underlined entity displayed on the report screen.

Report types

CLOBS ERP has the following types of reporting facilities:

• Lists - are based on Window information. Users can generate a report for every window in the system including Windows containing new user defined fields and tables. The reports can be modified to specify which fields are to be displayed, in which order and how they are to be grouped. The report can calculate minimum, maximum, sum, count, standard deviation and variance for selected columns.
• Reports - are usually based on summarized information and are based on Report Views. Reports allow the definition of what information is to appear in rows and what is to appear in columns, the combination of a row set definition and a column set definition determines the report content.
