Introduction

Every report is based upon a specific set of _data_ which we will refer to as _datasource_. In BizzStream data equals documents and documents are based upon, or instances of, document definitions. When constructing reports we define the datasource of a report by making use of so called _DataObjects_.

Simply put; a DataObject represents a collection of BizzStream documents. An administrator is able to use Document Definition DataObjects or DataView DataObjects as datasource for their reports.

Application

DataObjects can be selected in the ReportDesigner editor ( ) in the left sidebar of the ExpressView / Dashboard and in the categories tab of the _advancedReport_ type.
