Understanding the Self-Service Reporting Framework

It is inefficient for administrators to take on the responsibility of generating and manually distributing statutory reports for all employees. The Self-Service Reporting Framework enables administrators to provide employees with the ability to generate statutory reports through self-service.

The flexibility of this framework enables administrators to:

• Create report groups to categorize similar kind of reports.

• Control the display of reports on the self-service pagelet based on statutory and company requirements.

• Configure reports under various available report templates, which provide filter parameters that employees can select when they generate reports.

• Define and control report filters dynamically based on the existing BI Publisher report queries.

Employees access the enabled reports through a new Self Service Reports pagelet on their home page. They can enter parameters for the reports, generate them, and save them to their local drives.
