Understanding and Extending the basicreportmodule

Custom Extension of the Reporting Framework

This release is our first stable release of the Reporting API. We have designed what we consider to be the basis for all of the APIs needed for the reporting. We feel very confident that the classes and interfaces designed will allow you to use and extend the API to:

• Define new cohort queries to allow users to calculate a custom metric that is specific to your organization.
• Define new data set definitions to expose data sets that are important to your users.
• Define new custom data set definitions that can be used in any implementation.
• Define a custom report based on your own data set definition.
• Build new reporting tools and user interfaces (e.g. a custom Reporting Dashboard for clinicians or an interactive data quality tool for data managers).
• Render reports in a standard format (e.g. SDMX-HD).
• Render reports in a proprietary format (e.g. .docx).
• Define custom logic rules to be used in indicators and cohort queries.
• Define new data quality rules to allow data managers to identify problems areas within your form entry process.
