Embedding Reports in a webpage

BUser

<p><span style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Hi, I am new to BIRT and am evaluating.</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">I would like to know if this is possible with as little programming as possible: -</span></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">I have a website that has an administration backend where designated employees login and are able to perform various tasks. I want create reports some with parameters (+/- 25-50) and</span></span></p>
<ol><li><span style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">single login that the employee uses to login to the administration panel</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Have the employee select a report from the different reports, input the parameters and run the report.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">If the above is NOT possible then is there a way to embed the viewer so that the look and feel can be seamless, so that the employee doesn't know they are actually leaving one site for another.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">They can save the report in different formats or print.</span></span></li>
</ol><p><span style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">I would appreciate all insight.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Thank you.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:'times new roman', serif;"><span style="font-size:12pt;"> BU</span></span></p>

<p>I would recommend taking a look at <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://developer.actuate.com/resources/documentation/ihubftype/visualization-platform/'>BIRT iHub F-Type</a>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1. You can configure an iPortal Security Extension to integrate with your Single Sign On for your application.</p>
<p style="margin-left:40px;">a. <span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;">Take a look at the </span><a class="bbc_url" href="http://developer.actuate.com/be/documentation/Manualsihub3/ihub-integration-guide.pdf&quot; title="">Integrating Applications into BIRT iHub</a><span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;"> documentation. Chapter 19 in particular will have the details about implementing an IPSE.</span></p>
<p style="margin-left:40px;"><span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;">b. </span><span style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;">There is also a reference example available on GitHub here: </span><a class="bbc_url" href="https://github.com/ActuateBIRT/ServerIntegrationIPSEExample&quot; title="External link">https://github.com/A...tionIPSEExample</a></p&gt;
<p style="margin-left:40px;"> </p>
<p>2. You can use the REST API and JavaScript API(JSAPI) in the 3.1 release of BIRT iHub F-Type to accomplish integrating the list of reports then selecting the parameters and running the report.</p>
<p style="margin-left:40px;">a. Details about getting started with the JSAPI in F-Type: <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://developer.actuate.com/resources/documentation/ihubftype/integration/'>http://developer.actuate.com/resources/documentation/ihubftype/integration/</a></p&gt;
<p style="margin-left:40px;">b. Documentation on building a web application using the BIRT APIs: <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://developer.actuate.com/be/documentation/ihub31-dev/WebApp/index.html'>http://developer.actuate.com/be/documentation/ihub31-dev/WebApp/index.html</a></p&gt;
<p style="margin-left:40px;"> </p>
<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;">4. The Interactive Viewer(IV) includes the ability to export the report that is generated to various formats.</p>
<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;margin-left:40px;">a. Take a look at the Interactive Viewer documentation for F-Type here: <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://developer.actuate.com/resources/documentation/ihubftype/interactive-viewer/'>http://developer.actuate.com/resources/documentation/ihubftype/interactive-viewer/</a></p&gt;
<p style="color:rgb(40,40,40);font-family:'Source Sans Pro', sans-serif;margin-left:40px;">b. The documentation specific to export formats in IV can be found here: <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://developer.actuate.com/be/documentation/ihub3-dev/bv/index.html#page/IV/Exporting-IV.html'>http://developer.actuate.com/be/documentation/ihub3-dev/bv/index.html#page/IV/Exporting-IV.html</a></p&gt;
