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.
