Custom Attributes in BIRT reports


Angelo Corna (26148381) | asked Feb 07 '10, 11:36 a.m.
Hi,

I've insert some custom attributes on my WorkItems.
How can I create a report with these attributes?
I've checked the LIVE_SNAPSHOT table but I can't find my attributes.
Is this the correct way in order to create BIRT reports with custom attributes?

Tanks in advance.

Because you want to use the result of a work item query, you'll need to
join data from the workitem_query_results table with live_workitem_cnt
to retrieve the fields you want to report on.

Hi,

Try with the WORKITEMS_SNAPSHOT as the data source

Using the LIVE_WORKITEM_CNT table you should be able to show the list of
work items.

If your custom attribute is of type string, use STRING_KEY as the id of
the attribute and STRING_VAL as the value.

I hope this helps,

I've check the possibility to use the LIVE_SNAPSHOT table or the
WORKITEM_QUERY_RESULTS table but on both cases I cannot insert on the
report the custom field.
Is there a out of the box procedure for this issue?

Bye.

Are you looking to report against live data or historical data from the data warehouse? A description of your report would also help.
