Report Explorer

Hi,
I remember SF team used to post a screenshot on their report explorer/report manager that list all reports to let user to choose and run on it.

I couldn't get back the URL. Anyone?

Beside, any plan to release that explorer and allow "hook" for us to "customize" to integrate to difference reporting tool?

Thank you

I guess when my schedule cleared up a little more (Lord willing)...lots of things on my plate at the moment. But we are in the process of creating KB articles. We had hoped to already have it up...but a number of unforeseen things came up that slowed down the roll-out of the KB. But we are working on it ;)

I will be placing samples in the KB that shows how to use Report Sharp-Shooter. If you are looking for a reporting engine...they win hands down. We stopped development for a number of weeks and did nothing but test report engines. We actaully did this for more than a couple of weeks, but we did nothing but test report engines for several weeks.

At any rate, when it was all said and done, Report Sharp-Shooter was by far the best and easiest to integrate with. They are very compatible with SF and their support and product is awesome...we have loved it!!!

As for our engine and the changes we made, it wouldn't work for everyone. I am more than willing to give examples and show what we did, but I will tell you that if you haven't started on your reports...then you will want to use Report Sharp-Shooter...I highly recommend it!!!

You don't hear me go on about 3rd party tools very often, but we have been very pleased with this product.

Hi Trent,

I would be pretty much interested in that kind report manager, specially because I have not buy any reporting tool yet and will start looking in a week or two, and would like to stay as compatible as possible with the framework.

I am sure many other would also be interested.

This would be a full time job providing our medical app interface to be used with any report engine. If we did this it would be for Perpetuumsoft Report Sharp Shooter only as this is how we have that interface plumbed. But we have extended it quite a bit also to allow for serialized report criteria by user, template integrations, etc.
