Solution Overview

Problem

Existing report configuration processes are inefficient and cumbersome, requiring users to navigate through multiple user interfaces to complete configuration steps, leading to increased computing resources and network traffic.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method for intelligent report configuration that aggregates historical configuration data, identifies configuration nodes in a hierarchical workflow, generates data objects using models based on historical and real-time data, and displays these data objects on a configuration user interface, thereby automating the configuration process.
