Hi All,

Is it possible in K2 blackpearl 4.7 to build a report using a smartbox smartobject as a data source ? I found some articles on reports but they are workflow reports but not on a general smartobjects.

For example : The smartobject I am using is similar to the below:

Employee Name      Department    Region

Ben                              HR                     Melbourne

Alex                            Finance             Sydney

John                           HR                      Sydney

 

Reports of type (Bar and Pie charts).

 

Please let me know if there is any alternative approach to build such reports.

 

Thanks

Govind

Hi GovindSurnidi,


 


Sounds like you are looking for OData in Custom Reporting . OData Exposes SmartObjects as OData data feeds, which you can use in other applications such as Microsoft Excel and PowerPivot. This allows you to use these tools to build rich reports that include workflow reporting data (and any other SmartObject data).
