  • Currently implemented for OI, D3, QM hosts.

Enhancing an OpenInsight report for use with O4W
 
If you've got an existing OI report that generates OIPI/OIPI.Net output, there are a few options for how you might make this same output available via the browser to O4W users.

If the existing report is basically data-driven (for example, if the output could be effectively generated via R/List), there are some easy options.  One choice is to recreate the report using the O4W Report Wizard.  This will allow you to create a "collector" window (for any prompts) and then specify which fields you wish to display, and allows you to include any R/List style modifiers (total, break-on, etc.).  Since this report is designed for web output, it is fully interactive, and allows the user to download the results.  The second choice is to create a Banded Report Writer (BRW) report, which can then be called from the browser to generate PDF outputs.

If neither of these "easy options" is appropriate – for example, the output cannot be easily represented as an R/List report – then modifications to the basic+ code are necessary. These break down into two pieces:
1. Prompting for data required to run the report, and
2. Generating output for display in the browser.
