Reporting Tutorial and Repository Discussion
The System Architect reporting system can report on all information contained in the central repository (encyclopedia). Custom, or Pre-Written reports are written in a simple script language but can be more easily constructed with the GUI Report Editor. This tutorial contains step by step instructions on how to create a simple data model report using the System Architect Report Editor.
Since knowledge of the System Architect encyclopedia is helpful in this process, we have included a representation of how a report queries and accesses the different parts of the encyclopedia for each step in the tutorial. If you are already familiar with the System Architect encyclopedia, we have provided a quickstart to familiarize yourself with the Report Editor.
The format of this tutorial includes instructions and dialogs (on the left) and a graphical representation of the encyclopedia (on the right) as shown below.
