Before you can create a report design, you must have a
model that includes all the elements that you intend to put in the
report.
For this tutorial, you import a project with two UML models:
- The Catering Business Model: This model includes the type of content
that you might put in a report. The Rational Business Modeling profile
is applied to the model, which contains a small number of business
use cases and business actors for a catering business.
- The Sample Business Model: This model is a simplified version
of the Catering Business Model. The model includes all the content
types of the Catering Business Model, but none of its content.
To simplify the design process, you use the Sample Business
Model when you create the report design. After you complete the report
design, you use the design to generate a report that displays the
contents of the Catering Business Model.
To import the models:
You are now ready to start designing a report.
