Abstract

A system, computer-implemented method, and a computer program product for defining a plurality of rental properties within a reporting datastore. A report template is defined and data is extracted from the reporting datastore. At least a portion of the report template is populated with at least a portion of the data extracted from the reporting datastore.

Claims

1. A data management system comprising:

a reporting datastore configured to define a plurality of rental properties;

a report definition process configured to allow a user to define a report template; and

a report population process configured to extract data from the reporting datastore and populate at least a portion of the report template with at least a portion of the data extracted from the reporting datastore.

2. The data management system of claim 1 wherein the reporting datastore is a rental property database.

3. The data management system of claim 2 wherein the rental property database is configured to define a plurality of data records that identify at least one rental property.

4. The data management system of claim 1 wherein the report definition process includes a report template editor that allows the user to define the report template.

5. The data management system of claim 4 wherein the report template editor is configured to allow the user to modify the report template.

6. The data management system of claim 4 wherein the report template editor is configured to allow the user to modify a premade report template chosen from a plurality of premade report templates.

7. The data management system of claim 1 further comprising:

a backend datastore system, coupled to the reporting datastore, from which data is extracted to populate the reporting datastore.

8. A computer-implemented method comprising:

defining a plurality of rental properties within a reporting datastore;

defining a report template;

extracting data from the reporting datastore; and

populating at least a portion of the report template with at least a portion of the data extracted from the reporting datastore.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 wherein the reporting datastore is a rental property database.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 9 wherein the rental property database is configured to define a plurality of data records that identify at least one rental property.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 wherein defining a report template includes defining a report template with a report template editor.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 11 wherein the report template editor is further configured to allow the user to modify the report template.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 11 wherein the report template editor is further configured to allow the user to modify a premade report template chosen from a plurality of premade report templates.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 8 further comprising:

coupling a backend datastore system to the reporting datastore, wherein data is extracted from the backend datastore system to populate the reporting datastore.

15. A computer program product residing on a computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising

defining a plurality of rental properties within a reporting datastore;

defining a report template;

extracting data from the reporting datastore; and

populating at least a portion of the report template with at least a portion of the data extracted from the reporting datastore.

16. The computer program product of claim 15 wherein the reporting datastore is a rental property database.

17. The computer program product of claim 16 wherein the rental property database is configured to define a plurality of data records that identify at least one rental property.

18. The computer program product of claim 15 wherein the instructions for defining a report template include instructions for defining a report template with a report template editor.

19. The computer-implemented method of claim 18 wherein the report template editor is further configured to allow the user to modify the report template.

20. The computer-implemented method of claim 18 wherein the report template editor is further configured to allow the user to modify a premade report template chosen from a plurality of premade report templates.

21. The computer-implemented method of claim 15 further comprising instructions for:

coupling a backend datastore system to the reporting datastore, wherein data is extracted from the backend datastore system to populate the reporting datastore.
