3.1 About Custom Report Definitions

Identity Reporting ships with a set of predefined report definitions. You can use them as is, or customize them to suit the requirements of your organization. You can also create new report definitions if you prefer to design your reports from scratch.

Skills requirement: To create custom report definitions, you need to have a background in Structured Query Language (SQL). SQL is used to construct the database query for a report.

To facilitate the process of creating new reports, NetIQ provides the NetIQ Identity Manager Report Packaging Tool. You can customize reports in Jaspersoft Studio and use the Reporting Packaging Tool to package them. The NetIQ Identity Manager Report Packaging Tool is installed on the same server where you install .

You can use Jaspersoft Studio to customize your report definitions. Jaspersoft Studio is a free, open source tool made available by the Jasper Reports project. It is available for Windows and Linux. You need to download and install Jaspersoft Studio before you begin customizing reports.
