Ideas

As the system are added with more functionality, the need for a good report-tool will become increasing.

It should be a divided tool.

One part with the selection.

A flexible way to select on :

categories

venues

users

date intervals

The selection should be with a pre selection and then multiselection.

And then free-text search facility for :

text1

text2

text3

The output are the event-fields ( not system-eventfields ) plus a ( generated ) duration field ( how many hours are event ) plus i.e. a field from the category which could be a price.

two buttons ( HTML and CSV )

this produces a CSV file OR

a quick view ( html output, where You can filter and sort on columns ). From here You can print via the browsers print function.

The second tool are the report tool.

Via a file-manager-like-thing You can browse a report directory.

Here are (1,3 or more ) pre defined reports/layouts to choose between.

The user chooses a layout and press print, and a report are produced.

The user can copy and then alter a layout - in this way the userdefined layouts will not be overwritten when a new release comes.

When a user has created a new layout it will appear in the file-manager-like-thing.
