Report management system
First Claim
1. A report management system for managing reports to be used by a business intelligence tool that generates instances of reports including information retrieved from one or more underlying data sources, the report management system comprising:
- a computer;
an interactive modeling user interface executable by the computer to receive user input and to present options for management of reports;
a content group manager executable by the computer to manipulate definition of content groups in response to the user input through the interactive modeling user interface, wherein the content group manager handles grouping of content into the content groups and allows at least one of addition of new content groups, modification of existing content groups, and deletion of existing content groups in response to the user input through the interactive modeling user interface;
a measure assignment manager executable by the computer to manage assignment of measures to the content groups in response to user input through the modeling user interface; and
a report assembler executable by the computer to assemble reports for the content groups based on information of the measures assigned to the content groups.

Abstract
A report management system is provided for creating reports to be used by a business intelligence tool that generates instances of reports including information retrieved from one or more underlying data sources. The report management system has an interactive modeling user interface for receiving user inputs and presenting options for management of reports, a content group manager for manipulation of definition of content groups in response to user inputs through the modeling user interface, a measure assignment manager for managing assignment of measures to the content groups in response to user inputs through the modeling user interface, and a report assembler for assembling reports for the content groups based on information of the measures assigned to the content groups.

17. A method of managing reports to be used by a business intelligence tool that generates instances of reports including information retrieved from one or more underlying data sources, the method comprising:
-
receiving user input, via an interactive modeling user interface on a computer, to select a content group based upon a user-selected grouping of content using a content group manager, wherein the content group manager is executed by the computer to allow at least one of addition of new content groups, modification of existing content groups, and deletion of existing content groups; receiving user input of a selection of one or more measures for the selected content group; assigning, by the computer, the selected measures to the selected content group; and assembling, by the computer, a report for the selected content group based on information of the selected measures assigned to the selected content group. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a computer to
receive user input, via an interactive modeling user interface of the computer, to select a content group based upon a user-selected grouping of content using a content group manager, wherein the content group manager is executed by the computer to allow at least one of addition of new content groups, modification of existing content groups, and deletion of existing content groups; -
receive user input of a selection of one or more measures for the selected content group; assign the selected measures to the selected content group; and assemble a report for the selected content group based on information of the selected measures assigned to the selected content group.
