BIRT Studio

BIRT Studio is an ad-hoc reporting tool for business users to create BIRT-based reports using the reusable components created by BIRT developers in an Eclipse BIRT Designer or BIRT Designer Pro from Actuate. It is an AJAX-based business intelligence tool accessed from a web browser with no client software to install. With BIRT Studio, users can create charts and graphs; add, rearrange, reformat, show and hide data; and change report, row, column and cell formatting to create their own BIRT output.

BIRT Studio is implemented as a service of the BIRT iServer. For BIRT ISVs and SaaS vendors wishing to include BIRT Studio in their product, it can be embedded as a component or with the BIRT Deployment Kit.
