Extend Your ER/Studio Portal with New Reports

Embarcadero Technologies, a database tools and application development tools software company, has revolutionized collaborative data modeling with the introduction of the ER/Studio Portal last year.

The Portal, a search engine for data that transforms the way metadata, business rules and models are located and accessed in the enterprise, and provides global visibility into corporate data assets and gives ER/Studio Enterprise users an unprecedented understanding of the information in their enterprise and facilitates company-wide collaboration.

An important feature of the Portal are all great technical and business reports that come standard with the tool. Users and administrators can extend the capabilities of the Enterprise Portal with new reports and charts.

Take a few minutes and learn how to create new reports and integrate them into the Enterprise Portal by using the same tools that were used to build the Enterprise Portal itself.
