Ad Hoc Reporting
Ad hoc: ”improvised” or “impromptu”
Ad Hoc Reporting Example
A large financial institution with many financial
representatives, each with their own territory. With ad
hoc reporting, financial reps can create their own reports
displaying their goals, new transactions, number of client
visits, etc. Thus, reps can easily create the custom reports
that they need for themselves or to share with others,
from the same or different data source.

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Use the wrong icons for the four solutions. Didn't explain VA enough.. just read it Explaining Synchronized refresh wasn't smooth You over-explained the Excel stuff Don't say Real-time charts and Mobile stuff are self-explanatory Global customer base slide wasn't too smooth, and not brief You keep thanking ppl… like four times Transition from video back to slides wasn't smooth
  • #8 Visual Analysis: Touch your data Fast because of in-memory cubes
  • #9 JDashboard Drag and drop dashboard design Easy to integrate with 3rd party widgets such as Google maps Both Flash and AJAX charts, tables and crosstabs Flexible Software Development Kit JReport includes an API for every action that can be created in the product Designer API allows the application to dynamically modify templates Catalog API allows the application to dynamically modify data connections Server API allows the application to call all reporting functions directly from the application Server RMI API allows the application to call all reporting functions from a remote host Tutorials, code samples and JavaDocs make using the API easy to learn
  • #10 Visual data isn’t just pretty charts, it needs to be usable for taking action. JReport provides this capability with many options for filters, links, drilldowns and built in hierarchies such as country, state, zip that easily allows the user to explore the data to determine root cause and take action. JReport charts are fully interactive allowing the user to change chart types, switch between charts and crosstabs, dynamically create tables using the data from the charts and much more.
