Web portals and accompanying portlets provide users with almost limitless possibilities when it comes to online dashboard displays. Benefits of employing Web 2.0 and JSR-168 technology with Actuate BIRT-based technology can be realized immediately.
With the addition of active dashboards and BIRT Interactive Viewer to the BIRT product line:
- Users do not have to request new reports from IT
- Custom designs can be saved back to the repository and run by the author or other users
- Once imported into the dashboard, metrics can be used to monitor changes and updates
- Parameters and rules can be customized for any dashboard
- Report updates and delivery can be automated to run on a regular basis; a user can elect to be notified each time a report runs and receive output as a .pdf or .html report, automatically emailed at the end of each run
- New metrics can be added to a dashboard at any time by dropping and dragging a custom portlet from the menu into the dashboard
