Customizing Report Templates

With BIRT RCP Designer (BIRT) and Microsoft Excel, you can customize the pre-installed report templates of Performance Manager and create custom report templates. For details on using BIRT, see the Silk Performance Manager Administration Help and the BIRT RCP Designer documentation.

To download an existing template for editing:

  1. In the menu, click Performance Manager > Reports.
  2. Select a report that utilizes the BIRT Report Template.
  3. Click the Properties tab.
  4. Click Download Excel report template or Download BIRT report template. Depending on your selection, you receive the report data as an empty generic BIRT or Excel report template. The datasource is already configured.
  5. Once you have saved the template to your local system, modify it as required. For detailed information on configuring BIRT report templates, see the Silk Performance Manager Administration Help.
