A system produces a storage area network resource management report view
by obtaining at least one report definition containing report parameters
that specify a report layout for presentation of data in the graphical
user interface. The system receives a report request to view data in a
report view and obtains a data set corresponding to the report request.
The data set includes data values to be presented as the data in the
graphical user interface. The system applies the data values in the data
set to the corresponding report parameters in the at least one report
definition to populate the report layout specified by the at least one
report definition to dynamically generate at least one report view. The
system provides the at least one report view for rendering in the
graphical user interface. The system also provides the ability to create
custom report views without requiring programming language skills.
