Title: Web based reporting ?
Post by: OpenIT Solutions on August 08, 2012, 08:36:04 pm

Hi,

Has anyone seen/created a web based reporting option that can be integrated with the generated html. My users would like the ability to select a diagram/package on the generated html and select/click a Report option which would list RTF report (templates defined in Sparx) that they can select to generate. I appreciate that the html generated is not server side, but i'm has anyone looked at this ? Any products ? Or any pointers if we wanted to approach this ourselves.

Question for Sparx  - is this capability slated for any future release (don't want to invest time/money building - if its on the cards)....

Regards,

Jon.

Hmm, interesting problem.

I guess if you are running EA on a server somewhere it should be possible to write some kind of webservice that
1) lists all possible report templates for a certain element
2) generates (and shows) an RTF report based on a template name and an element.

You would then somehow need to include the code to call the webservices in the generated HTML.
