Automatic report generation in a networked computing environment

A system for generating reports in a networked computing environment, comprising:

• a memory medium comprising instructions;
• a bus coupled to the memory medium;
• and
• a processor coupled to the bus that when executing the instructions causes the system to:
• receive a set of unique identifiers, the set of unique identifiers corresponding to a set of electronic documents;
• receive a defined hierarchy among the set of unique identifiers;
• receive a set of input parameters associated with the set of unique identifiers;
• receive a set of manually provided content;
• retrieve the set of electronic documents from at least one computer storage device using the set of unique identifiers;
• generate a set of report content and a set of report objects from the electronic documents based on the set of input parameters;
• and
• generate a report using a previously designated template, the report comprising the set of manually provided content, the set of report content, and the set of report objects.

A computer program product for generating reports in a networked computing environment comprising a computer readable storage media, and program instructions stored on the computer readable storage media, to:

• receive a set of unique identifiers, the set of unique identifiers corresponding to a set of electronic documents;
• receive a defined hierarchy among the set of unique identifiers;
• receive a set of input parameters associated with the set of unique identifiers;
• receive a set of manually provided content;
• retrieve the set of electronic documents from at least one computer storage device using the set of unique identifiers;
• generate a set of report content and a set of report objects from the electronic documents based on the set of input parameters;
• and
• generate a report using a previously designated template, the report comprising the set of manually provided content, the set of report content, and the set of report objects.

A method for deploying a system for generating reports in a networked computing environment, comprising:

• deploying a computer infrastructure being operable to:
• receive a set of unique identifiers, the set of unique identifiers corresponding to a set of electronic documents;
• receive a set of input parameters associated with the set of unique identifiers;
• receive a set of manually provided content;
• retrieve the set of electronic documents from at least one computer storage device using the set of unique identifiers;
• generate a set of report content and a set of report objects from the electronic documents based on the set of input parameters;
• and
• generate a report using a previously designated template, the report comprising the set of manually provided content, the set of report content, and the set of report objects.
