Using Alfresco to generate reports and send email attachment

[y334]

I was wondering if it was possible to use Alfresco to generate reports.

For example could it be used to generate a change report, or a report on the number of documents in 'review', 'recently approved', etc spaces.

Also if it can generate reports, is it possible to add these as email attachments which Alfresco can email to users.

i.e. Can Alfresco email attachments.

Thanks for any help in advance.

The FreeMarker templating services built into the repo and web-client are probably the best way to generate report pages. There are examples in the "/Company Home/Data Dictionary/Presentation Templates" folder, and see the wiki docs: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Template_Guide

Thanks,

Kevin

…currently Alfresco cannot generate email attachments - but it can use Templates to generate emails.
