Terminology

Reporting is the act of collecting and aggregating Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to present them in reports.
KPIs are defined as a set of measures that are used to assess the operational success of a business process.

Reporting is also know as Business Intelligence (BI) or Business Activity Monitoring (BAM).

Reporting dependencies

Reporting involves Bonita and two other third-party software components:

  • A reporting database of your choice.

  • A BI tool of your choice.

Reporting main steps

Reporting is composed in several ordered steps.

At design time:

  1. Reporting database setup

  2. KPI definition in Bonita Studio

  3. Report creation in the BI tool

At execution time:

  1. KPI collection in Bonita Engine and storage in the reporting database (this is performed automatically based on KPI definitions)

  2. Report generation using the BI tool or Bonita Portal
