Configuring Custom Reports
Report templates allow you to easily extend OneSight reporting to
include your own customized reports. The features include:
Ease of use – It is very simple to add a report to OneSight
without knowledge of OneSight reporting or the Corda PopChart
rendering engine.
Flexible data acquisition – You can report on OneSight data or
any available SQL database. In addition, report templates will
accept properly formatted CSV, XML, or HTML files as input.
Flexible rendering options – Any report can be displayed either as
a chart (line, bar, pie, stacked bar, etc), or as an HTML table.
Gauge “dials” are also supported.
Extensibility – You can post-process SQL data prior to rendering,
allowing more advanced data manipulation that might be difficult
within the SQL query. This is done by implementing a simple
java interface.
PDF support – In addition to Flash output, any chart can be
generated as a PDF.
Creating Reports Using Report Templates
To create a report using OneSight report templates you need to add
your report to the report templates properties file. After editing, it is
not necessary to restart OneSight; any changes to the properties file
will be recognized.
