Product Description

Product Description

A new edition of this title is available, ISBN-10: 0321580273 ISBN-13: 9780321580276

 

The first in a two-book series about Business Intelligence and Reporting Technology, BIRT: A Field Guide to Reporting introduces reporting to a broad base of users. Built on the Eclipse platform, this exciting technology makes it possible for programmers and non-programmers to build and deploy complex reports with minimal effort.

BIRT: A Field Guide to Reporting presents information about how to develop and customize reports of progressive complexity using BIRT Report Designer. This tool was designed from the ground up for Web applications and uses a Web page-oriented design metaphor in contrast to older banded report writers that were developed before the advent of the Internet. This unique approach to report creation makes BIRT an approachable and effective tool for developers of all levels.

Report designs discussed include

  • Listing reports that include sorting, grouping, and totals
  • Summary reports, such as top N reports
  • Charts, including pie, line, bar, and gauge charts
  • Master-detail reports

Other topics discussed include

  • Understanding the technology
  • Planning report designs
  • Accessing data
  • Laying out and formatting reports
  • Building charts
  • Enhancing reports with interactive viewing, shared libraries, and localized text
  • Preparing reports for international data

2.0 out of 5 stars Can't see the woods for the trees, 25 April 2009
By Sailor (England) - See all my reviews
BIRT is an important and exciting technology but unfortunately this book doesn't do it justice. It's a classic example of why software developers are rarely the right people to write the manual. What you get here is vast detail at the "click this, then this" level which few using BIRT are likely to need, but little that allows you to survey the concepts and facilities, which is precisely what you do need. There must be a good book on BIRT waiting to be written but this isn't it.
