Migration of configured reports

After migration from Alfabet 10.15.x to Alfabet 11.7 configured reports need reworking. Some report types will be available without additional adaptations, while you need to change or redefine other report types. Expand the section for the configured report type you would like to migrate to view which action is required, if any.

We are currently working on the information about reports. Stay tuned!

• Editable class view reports

  Report type: Custom.

  Report template: EditableClassViewReport

  Support in 11.7: Not supported.

  Proposed solution: Create a data workbench instead. Use the query of the report for the data workbench. Data workbenches are providing a better usability to the end user.

• Tabular reports

  Report type: AQL and SQL.

  Report template: None.

  Support in 11.6: Partially supported.

  Migration issues: Special features like instructions are not completely supported.

  Proposed solution: Create a data workbench instead. Use the query of the report for the data workbench. Data workbenches are easy to configure and providing a better usability to the end user. Tabular standard views and tabular reports should be substituted with data workbenches to provide easy editing capabilities consistently within the application.

• Data Table Report

  Report type: Query.

  Report template: Data Table Report

  Support in 11.7: Supported.

• Kanban reports

  Report type: Custom.

  Report template: Kanban

  Support in 11.7: Supported.

  Migration issues: None.

• Pie Chart reports

  Report type: Custom.

  Report template: BusinessChartReport

  Support in 11.7: Supported.

  Migration issues: None.

• Widget reports

  Report type: Custom.

  Report template: WidgetReport

  Support in 11.7: Not supported.

  Proposed solution: How widgets are defined has been completely revised. Widgets are now defined in the Alfabet user interface. Administrative users can define widgets displaying indicators directly in the indicator type or evaluation type definition . All users can define widgets as a data workbench visualization. On the Alfabet user interface, the resulting reports are called cards.

  The card definitions on the user interface are based on widget card templates defined in Alfabet Expand. A number of preconfigured standard widget card templates is available to ensure that users can create card reports without any preconfiguration in Alfabet Expand.

  In the Presentation tab of Alfabet Expand, you will see all widget definitions used in your widget reports under the Widgets node. These widgets have a new Type attribute set to View.
