Report Customizations

PeopleFluent Talent Management provides the ability to customize reports and statements using Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT). BIRT is an open-sourced, Java-based visual report development plug-in to the Eclipse SDK. Users customizing reports will need the following applications:

• Java Runtime Environment (JRE), either:
• Version 1.5 (a.k.a. Version 5), or
• Version 1.6.0 16 (a.k.a. Version 6 Update 16) (recommended)
• BIRT 3.7.2
• Eclipse SDK 3.7.2

BIRT and the Eclipse SDK are only required for those few administrators who are responsible for customizing reports and statements. It is not a requirement for every end user.

Therefore, you will want to download a specific version of BIRT (3.7.2) and make sure java is installed on your machine.  At the time of creating this document, the following link can be used to download BIRT 3.7.2
