  • Patent number: 8935799
    Abstract: A report generation system is provided. The system comprises at least one data generator that generates data, a data store that comprises the data, a computer system, and a reporting engine. The reporting engine receives a request to generate a report from a client device, applies a first pre-established filter to the data based on credentials associated with a user of the client device to isolate a subset of the data, and applies a second pre-established filter to the subset of the data based on the credentials associated with the user of the client device to isolate a report generation set of data. The reporting engine further generates the report using the report generation set of data from the data store based on user-defined criteria and pre-established default criteria and outputs the report to the client device.
