The recommended way to create reports to deploy to the TraceTracker BI Platform, is by creating Pentaho Reports using Pentaho Report Designer (PRD).

“Pentaho Reporting is a suite of open-source reporting tools allows you to create relational and analytical reports from a wide range of data-sources and output types including: PDF, Excel, HTML, Text, Rich-Text-File and XML and CSV outputs of your data. The OpenFormula/Excel-formula expressions help you to create more dynamic reports exactly the way you want them. The open architecture and powerful API and extension points make sure this system can grow with your requirements.” -from the Pentaho website
