Reporting Overview

Top  Previous  Next

Agiblocks has a separate reporting database with data represented in a way that users can more easily understand and use in reports.  Agiblocks supports connections to the Agiblocks reporting database through use of an OData interface.  It allows Agiblocks customers to use any reporting tool that supports an OData connection. This capability of connecting to other reporting tools using the OData interface is referred to as Agiblocks Reporting 2.0.  

 

A connection to the Agiblocks reporting database using an OData interface would look like the diagram below.

OData support allows many standard reporting tools like Microsoft Power BI, Tableau, SAP Crystal Reports, and even Microsoft Excel to quickly and easily connect to the Agiblocks Reporting database and retrieve information.  More detailed information about OData can be found here: https://www.odata.org/getting-started/understand-odata-in-6-steps/
