New report generation process

Open EvgeniaPatsoni opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Hello.

I installed the plugin but have some trouble understanding how I can generate a new report.

Should one follow the instructions listed here: https://github.com/ckan/ckanext-report#creating-a-report, i.e.:

  1. Write python code
  2. Create an .html template
  3. Register the report
  4. Actually generate the report using paster --plugin=ckanext-report ..... command?

Isn't there an option to generate a report through the CKAN ui?

Not all users know how to write python code or have access to the cli, thus this process seems like an overkill..

The UI has a refresh button for regenerating the data for the report which does the same as the cli command. But otherwise the new report needs to be programmed like the instructions say.
