Importing report templates into the Rule Project Map

You can configure the Review part of the Rule Project Map to link to the BIRT report templates that you most frequently use. Rule Designer provides BIRT report templates for you to run reports on business rules, rule consistency, and ruleset completeness.

About this task

To configure the Rule Project Map with Rule Designer report templates, you import the custom report templates provided in the custom-rule-report report project. You can also import your own report templates into the Rule Project Map.

The templates are located in <InstallDir>/studio/samples/brmanagement/customrulereport/custom-rule-report.

Note: Make sure that your Eclipse installation contains the required BIRT plug-ins. For more information, see Installing the Rule Designer required plug-ins.
