Creating and managing report templates

The Jazz Team Reports component provides a set of pre-defined reports for the various default process configurations, but you might want to modify these templates, add other templates, or design your own templates. Report templates can be designed and deployed to the project area.

Report templates are designed using Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT), which is an open source, Eclipse-based project available at http://www.eclipse.org/birt. Report template are deployed as BIRT report design files (.rptdesign).

To use BIRT tools to modify or create report for Rational Team Concert™, you must install BIRT tools into the same Eclipse shell asRational Team Concert.

Tip: You might also want to deploy (or modify) one of the reports that are included with the Jazz Team Reports component. These .rptdesign files can be found in the client installation, in the com.ibm.team.examples.reports.common plug-in.
