Já havia lido alguns trechos do livro Getting Real há tempos, e dessa leitura nasceu à idéia de "amarrar especificação com geração de código", e logo depois descobri que alguém havia dado a isso o nome de MDA. No livro é perceptível a simplificação durante a produção de software, com o foco definitivamente em não criar um elefante branco. O livro em português pode ser lido aqui.

The purpose of reports is usually to inform. However, reports may include persuasive elements, such as recommendations, suggestions, or other motivating conclusions that indicate possible future actions the report reader might take (Wikpedia).

Thinking about this, and the desire for increased competitiveness, Reports Customization has been implemented. Using this tool, the user can create his/her reports and insert them into the system. After their creation, the user can put them on a specific screen, or schedule them to be sent by e-mail.

In order to customize reports, it is suggested for the user to have the iReport software installed. See the Twiki page for more information on creating new reports.

The default report files are the same as used in the system. They will be available for customization, just after modules to add your reports to the ADREPORT table. Then, the user can create a copy from these reports, and modify them. After customization, the default reports are not modified or replaced. These reports will always be available on their menus, and another option is creating on this menu from where the customized report will be accessed.

Now, the user can also schedule these default or customized reports by clicking the schedule button at the top of the menu screen of the generated report. Thus, the user will receive his/her reports in pdf format by e-mail, without having to access the system, to generate the report.
