Centralized Metadata Layer
 |
To use the ad hoc reporting interface with your own data, you must design a metadata model using the Pentaho Metadata Editor. Pentaho metadata provides the following features:
- For designers, the ability to create one report that satisfies multiple end-user needs
- For business users, the ability to create their own ad hoc reports based on centralized business rules, without any technical skills or knowledge of SQL
- Centralized maintenance for data connectivity, security, formatting, and more.
