Report, Ad hoc report and Dashboard in pentaho

Question

I'm currently working on a project to implement a BI solution. I chose Pentaho

There are many tools to create:

reports (report designer)

adhoc reports (WAHQR ou PIR)

Dashboard (dashboard designer or CDE)

Analyze (analyzer or saiku)

(in big the one I'll use)

The question is, which tool is used by the final user (non technic) and which by the technician/developer?

And which of these tools create report/dashboard that can be executed repeatedly with a scheduler / just one time on demand?

thks for your help

Answer 1

Developer : All

User : SAIKU

Reports generated by Pentaho Report Dssigner could be excuted by scheduler. This is also able to be executed by scheduler using kitchen using Pentaho Reporting Output step.
