BIRT Designer Pro supports all the features of and is compatible with reports developed in the Eclipse BIRT Designers.
Metadata Layer Builder
The Information Object Builder included in BIRT Designer Pro is a visual development tool used to create an optional metadata layer of Information Objects that represent controlled, business user-appropriate views of data for inclusion in BIRT reports and accessible from BIRT Studio for ad hoc reporting by end users.
Multiple Data Source and Component-based Reuse
BIRT Information Object Builder creates metadata objects that pull in and integrate real-time data from multiple heterogeneous data sources and supports the component-based reuse ability of all BIRT Designers.
- Data access flexibility – supports the same data sources as the BIRT Designers.
- Component-based reuse – create components to be included in the BIRT report libraries for use in multiple reports.
- Impact Analysis—enables developers to assess the impact to BIRT components across the project of schema changes to underlying sources.
- Explicit query definitions – supports presetting specific queries and explicitly specifying how queries should execute and return results, isolating them from layout operation.
- Role-based access control – supports controlling which information users can receive, role-based user and access privileges. Filters and conditions can be applied to allow personalized views of data for each user.
