Reporting

A report is a way to export the analysed data (entities and relationships) of a case project. Using different templates output file with different formats (Text, HTML, CSV, XML) can be created. The reporting mechanism is made up of three components:

1. Templates

2. Data Objects

3. Scripts

If you generate a report the following happens:

The entity data which is stored in the meta data of the individual documents is loaded into an aggregated Analysis Data Model object. This object makes the data available via an API represented by Data Objects. A template file can embed the data objects using variable names (e.g. $project.name). If the report is generated the variables are replaced by the actual data (e.g. the project name "Franz Marc" replaces $project.name in the template).

The templates used to create a report are stored internally and can be modified by creating a configuration project.
