GN4 has a built-in system to generate reports data.

The reports data can be displayed as tables in browse and clients applications (Ted4, Fred4), or they can be stored into a separate reports database.

Process description when the data is displayed as tables

1.Execute a search.

2.Process all the objects matching the search conditions via a XSL transformation that converts each one of them into a fixed set of values (columns).

3.Optionally process these values aggregating them (e.g. compute totals).

4.Output the results as an XML file.
