How To Request Reports

A user may request an ad hoc report from within your product:

• A report submission page enables a user to choose the desired report and enter the parameter values for the report
• The user must be granted security access to the report
• The request is passed to the reporting tool real time. Refer to Configure The System to Invoke BI Publisher for more information.
• The reporting tool generates the report and displays it in a new browser window

The reporting tools' scheduler creates reports (as per your schedule). This function is entirely within the reporting tool. No scheduling functions reside within your product.

A user can request an ad-hoc report from within the reporting tool. Note, the user's ID must be supplied as a parameter to the report in order for the user's profile to be used to format dates and numbers
