6.2  Reporting
Maximo Asset Management Essentials 7.1 is integrated with the Eclipse 
Foundation's Business Intelligence Reporting Tool (BIRT). BIRT is an open 
source reporting system that will integrates with Java/J2EE applications, such as 
Maximo Asset Management Essentials 7.1, to produce custom reports. BIRT 
utilizes XML report definitions to generate reports in PDF or HTML Output. BIRT 
uses the data from Maximo Asset Management Essentials 7.1 and manages and 
displays it to end users in a way that they can immediately take action if 
necessary. That action may involve drilling down into reports for a specific 
problem issue, or an analysis of the data for cost for regulatory purposes.
The following are the main topics covered in this section:
��
BIRT Administration

BIRT Configure Reports

As the Report Administrator, you can specify the following for end users:
��
The availability of reports and how they open, run, and print
��
The appearance of report titles and headings
��
Report security settings
The following figures provide a short introduction into the Report Administration 
application. The look and feel is like all other applications launched from the Start 
Center. There are two ways to open the Report Administration application. The 
first way is for the initial administration, the second can be used, when reports 
are already defined:
