Overview

The purpose of the Report Manager is to allow users to generate reports based on data that is stored in the MIKE Workbench system. Reports combine static content that is defined in report templates and dynamic content that is generated from system data and formatted according to user preferences (e.g. time series plots, maps, spreadsheet content, indicator values).

The central point of the Report Manager is a report definition which always consists of:

• A report template (a document for a given report type containing combination of static content and placeholders for a dynamic content, e.g. MS Word document)

• Content configuration (definition of content generated from MIKE Workbench for each dynamic content item in the report template)

• Report properties (properties of the generated report specific for a given report type)

Report manager has a plug-in architecture which means that it can support many report types. By default the system supports MS Word-based reports.
