Reports

There are mainly three types of reports in OpenERP:

• OpenOffice.org reports
• RML reports
• custom reports (based on PostgreSQL views and displayed within the interface)

This chapter mainly describes OpenOffice.org reports, and then XSL:RML reports. Custom reports are described in section Advanced Modeling - Reporting With PostgreSQL Views.
