Description

Report ordering

Reports can be ordered from Cinnamon as

Immediate

  • Ad-hoc orders

(

  • : to be produced once and immediately from available data

)

  • Scheduled orders

(

  • : to be produced periodically and triggered by the

availablilty

  • availability of data

)

  • Batch orders: produce multiple reports from a single order

A Report Order captures all information (parameters) needed for Cinnamon Reporting to start one (or multiple) Report Execution(s) that correctly produce(s) the desired output

driven by the data selected

(s).

Report scheduling & execution

Cinnamon overviews

Scheduling is the

availablily of data and automatically triggers any report order that is waiting for the newly available data.

Report execution

When a Report Order is triggered either immediately or by data availability, a Report Execution is created and

process of analysing all stored orders, to see if a Report Execution should be triggered. The preconditions for a report execution can be:

  • Data availability: is data available for the given reportingDate and minimumDataQuality?

  • Past executions: has the same data already been produced?

  • Validity period: Scheduled orders can have a scheduling start and end date.

  • Frequency:

    • Monthly, Quarterly, etc.

    • Once: Validity period set to a specific day.

When a Report Execution is triggered either by an ad-hoc order or by data availability matching a scheduled order, the following steps are executed

  • The Parameters from the order are read

  • The Report Type, defining the structure of the ordered report, is interpreted

  • All Building Blocks contained in a report type are interpreted using the selected data

  • An Abstract Report is produced

  • The abstract report is sent for rendering (if needed)

Report rendering

Abstract Reports can be rendered to user-friendly formats as

  • Microsoft Word documents

  • PDF documents

  • Further document types on request (Powerpoint, Excel, etc.)

Online reports don’t need any server-side rendering, as the rendering typically is done by the web browser.
