Creating Your First Report

Step 1: Install Required Tools

Before starting, ensure you have the following tools installed:

• Reporting Framework (e.g., reporting-cli)
• Data Source Connector (e.g., data-connector for SQL/NoSQL)
• Visualization Library (e.g., chartlib for graphs)

🛠️ Tip: Use npm install or pip install to install dependencies.

Step 2: Configure Report Settings

Create a configuration file (report-config.yaml) with these parameters:

report_name: "Sales Overview"
output_format: "pdf"
data_source: "/Documentation/en/Tutorials/Basic_Reporting/Data_Sources"

📊 Example: Use the /Documentation/en/Tutorials/Basic_Reporting/Data_Sources link to learn how to set up your data connection.

Step 3: Write Report Template

Use the following code snippet to define your report structure:

def generate_report():
    data = fetch_data_from_source()
    visualize_data(data)
    save_output("output.pdf")

💡 Remember to replace fetch_data_from_source() with your actual data retrieval logic.

Step 4: Run and Export

Execute the script:

python report_template.py
