  • DYNAMIC REPORTS CONNECTED TO PROJECT DATA
    Publication number: 20130339831
    Abstract: Project data is used to create dynamic reports that automatically update when the project data changes. The selected project data is used for the display of one or more graphical objects (e.g. charts, tables). A graphical user interface (GUI) may be used to select project data fields from the project data. The selected data fields are used to determine the project data to access that is then mapped to a format understood by the graphical object (e.g. project data storage format to a cross tabular format). The graphical object is configured to treat the selected project data as a data source. When the project data changes, the graphical object is automatically updated.
