ModelReporter What's New?


What is
ModelReporter?

ModelReporter is a Windows-based tool for Advantage Gen (formerly COOL:Gen) developers and project managers which brings the power of Microsoft Office to the Advantage Gen development environment. It is a documentation and reporting tool, as well as a model analysis, quality assurance and developer productivity tool.

ModelReporter works with the Advantage Gen developer workstation software to extract, store and manipulate information from Advantage Gen models via a Microsoft Access compatible database (note that Access itself is not required). It does not require any Host or Local Encyclopedia access - anyone with the Advantage Gen workstation software, ModelReporter and Microsoft Office on their PC has immediate access to ModelReporter features. Developers can get the information they need when they need it.

ModelReporter extracts data from Advantage Gen models and stores it in an Access compatible database. This is a quick and easy process using ModelReporter's intuitive graphical interface. The data is extracted using the Toolset and Encyclopedia APIs which come as part of the Advantage Gen product. ModelReporter creates Word and Excel reports or ‘extracts’ by querying the Access database. A large number of standard extracts can be created in different formats. There are also powerful custom reporting and specification creation capabilities. Although the Access database is very much 'behind the scenes', its format is open and documented and users can go directly to it if they desire.

ModelReporter does a lot more than just produce excellent model documentation. It allows you to analyse your model in a variety of ways and verify that it conforms to your own in-house development standards.
