Actuate BIRT Report Studio

Actuate BIRT Report Studio is a web-based report development tool for business users to create BIRT reports using the reusable report components created by any of BIRT Report Designers.  It is an AJAX-based tool accessed from a web browser with no client software to install for end users to create charts and graphs; add, rearrange, reformat, show and hide data; and change report, row, column and cell formatting to create their own BIRT report. 

Features Overview

Actuate BIRT Report Studio can be deployed in three ways:

  • As a Java component in an application server to provide users web based report writing.
  • As an end user report writing portal, where users browse, create and save reports via the BIRT Deployment Kit.
  • With an iServer report server, so that users can access data through a metadata layer and schedule the reports they create.
