A BAM report/dashboard is a graphical user interface that can be used to display business activity information, analytics, and alerts. In the previous chapters, you have learned how to create Data Objects and move business data to them, which are the pre-requisites for building BAM reports that meet your needs. In this chapter, you will build a report, using various View types, to monitor order processing information and some KPIs in real time. You will start with a report that contains a single View, and then extend your report to include multiple Views. Finally, you will enable alerts, so that a notification e-mail will be sent if certain conditions are met.
As it is impractical to cover every report design topic in one chapter, we will focus on the key topics only, and you can use this chapter as a guideline for your future report design practices.
