qbo.Report

Background

The qbo.Report module provides a mechanism for users to schedule the running of reports, including scheduled execution and delivery by email.

Google Visualization

The qbo.Report.Google plugin allows server-side creation of Google Visualization DataTables. To consume such a data table, invoke:

// Generic Pattern

Report/GVis.ashx/{ClassName}/{Method}?{Parameters}

// Render a pivot table of DecisionSteps by template and created date

Report/GVis.ashx/DecisionStep/Pivot?Dimension=CreatedDate,DecisionStepTemplateID&CreatedDateStart=1/1/2005&Column=DecisionStepTemplate&Decision.DecisionTemplateID=110&IncludeTotal=false

// Render smart worklist members by Assigned Person and Smart Worklist

Report/GVis.ashx/SmartWorklistMember/Pivot?Dimension=AssignedPersonID,SmartWorklistID&Column=SmartWorklist&Active=1&Output=Json&Row=AssignedPerson&IncludeTotal=false&Facts=CompletedCount

With the results of the GVis.ashx output, one can construct a chart using the Google Visualization API:

// Load the visualization package

google.load("visualization", "1", {packages:["corechart"]});

// Assume 'canvas' is the id of a div tag where we want our chart displayed

var bc = new google.visualization.BarChart(document.id('canvas'));

// Assume data is a variable containing the JSON response from GVis.ashx

var dataTable = new google.visualization.DataTable(data);

// Render the chart

bc.draw(dataTable, { width: 600, height: 400, legend: { position: 'top', maxLines: 3 }, bar: { groupWidth: '75%' }, isStacked: true, });

Scheduling a Report from the front end

To schedule a report, perform the following steps:

• • Navigate to the Reports Dashboard.

  • On the left hand side, click on the Report that you would like to schedule. In this case, we select 'Demo'.

• • Provide a label, frequency, and email address for the schedule.

    • If you want a daily report, Select 'Weekly', and select each Day.

• • Click Submit.
