QCBD Report Engine is an application which allows you to select and schedule reports to run automatically. Reports run unattended, according to a selected schedule. The reports are emailed to recipients that you select. All reports are output as Excel files which are then attached to the email.
All reports are based on queries run against the information contained in the QCBD database. QCBD Report Engine includes a large number of standard query based reports. In addition, any saved queries created by QCBD users which are saved as “public queries” are available to include as reports in QCBD Report Engine. Selecting which reports you want to schedule is easy and quick (see the section Configuration and Setup).
There are two options for installing and running QCBD Report Engine. QCBD Report Engine is installed on a single computer, either running as a service (on the same server where the QCBD public files are stored) or as a desktop application (running in the background) on a computer that has the QCBD client installed. There are different advantages to each method of running QCBD Report Engine (see the section Appendix A - Installation).
QCBD Report Engine is designed to work with your existing installation of QCBD and requires the purchase of a separate QCBD Report Engine module license.
NOTE: QCBD Report Engine can only be run by users that have been given QCBD System Supervisor rights.
