I am considering the use of Self Service Reports to present information that requires the upwards (where used) and downwards traversing of a Bill of Materials. The documentation for Self Service Reports only describes the use of simple AML queries to request the data from the ARAS database. I wish to use the Self Service Reports as the presentation layer, as it is requirement to honor the ARAS security model for the BOM traverse.
Can VB or C# program be used to prepare an AML like XML response for reporting using the Self Service Reports GUI?
AJ and Andreas - Thanks for your responses.
However, one of the key requirements for reporting in ARAS as a PLM system, is to allow the export of the report as PDF or XLS or DOC or XML. The Self Service Reports provides this capability OOTB. Engineers are always manipulating the data post-ARAS reporting.
Do either of the above suggestions allow the exporting of the data to PDF, XLS or DOC?
