OpenOffice.org 2.3 krijgt een Rapport Designer voor OOo Base
In de volgende nieuwe versie van OpenOffice.org (vermoedelijk versie 2.3) wordt de database applicatie, genaamd “Base” uitgebreid met een zogenaamde “Report Designer”. Hiermee kunnen uitgebreide rapporten op maat worden gemaakt. Deze nieuwe feature wordt mogelijk gemaakt door het invoegen van de gratis software Pentaho, in OpenOffice.org.
De originele tekst (ontvangen via mail van ooo-announce) leest u hieronder:
The OpenOffice.org community is pleased to announce plans to extend the power of the database application, Base, with Report Designer, based on Pentaho’s open-source reporting engine. [0] Scheduled to be available in the next feature release of OpenOffice.org, Report Designer will particularly interest business users, as it will give them the ability to create sophisticated business intelligence reports from various sources, including OLAP and XML, and save them using the OASIS OpenDocument format, or ODF, the ISO-approved open standard for file format, among others.
The collaboration between Pentaho and OpenOffice.org proves once again the strength not only of open source but of open standards. Unlike with proprietary applications, there are no encumbrances to getting things done, for users and developers. OpenOffice.org works for businesses.
