This is a sample set of reports showing how to make a "calendar view" of an orders table.<br />
<br />
Two parameters are specified by the user, start date and end date. One dataSet calls in all the order numbers from orders placed between those dates. The other is a scripted dataSet that creates a row for each date within the range. Several tables, grids, and filters are used to create the look of a calendar using the scripted dataSet. A sub table within each day of the week is then linked to the orders dataSet and filtered so that the orders for each day are shown only on their order date in the calendar. Clicking on an order will send you to the order details for that order.<br />
<br />
The attached reports were designed in BIRT 2.5.2.<br />
