Running and Viewing German Public Sector Reports

The system provides a component where the report administrator runs these reports and makes necessary edits. These reports can be run in three ways:

Generate report results which are stored in the database, no report file is created. The administrator can view and make changes to the results.
Generate report files using BI Publisher based on report results that already exist in the database.
Generate both report results and report files.

After the report is run, the administrator can view and edit the results from an employee’s perspective. The system also generates error files for each report run that had issues (for example, missing mapping). Once the administrator fixes all issues addressed in the error file, he or she can rerun the report to make sure that all data is corrected and displayed properly.

To made edits to a report file, the administrator can save it to a local machine, make changes, and upload it to the database. In addition to save and upload, the administrator can also perform these actions on a report or error file: view its source on a browser, generate an ASCII file, launch it in PDF, XLS or RTF format, and remove it from the database.

These reports are available for edits and viewing by employee on the German Public Sector page of the Job Data component.
