Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed that include a user interface that enables a user to request a pre-defined report. The user may specify either or both of an electronic mail delivery address for the report and an interval at which the report is to be updated. Such systems and methods enable a particular report to be produced and formatted only once, and then provided to multiple users, thereby eliminating the production and formatting of redundant reports.

Claims

1. A method for data retrieval the method comprising:

providing a user interface that enables a user to enter a request for a report;

retrieving a pre-defined set of queries associated with a requested report; and

submitting the pre-defined set of queries to a database.
