Raportin

Raportin is a fictional open-source data reporting platform designed to help teams design, generate, and share structured reports from diverse data sources. It emphasizes modularity, templating, and collaboration, with a name inspired by the Finnish word raportti, meaning report.

Key features include a modular core, a plugin system for data connectors and exporters, a templating engine for report layouts, support for PDF, HTML, CSV, and Excel exports, and built-in access control and audit trails.

Raportin follows a client-server model with a web-based authoring interface, a lightweight processing core, and a plugin layer that adds data adapters and export formats. The design prioritizes security, data governance, and easy extension.

Conceptualized by a cross-disciplinary community in 2015, Raportin released its first public version in 2016. It has since evolved through community contributions and periodic milestones that expanded templating, data connectivity, and collaboration tools.

Raportin is used by research teams, NGOs, and educational institutions to create repeatable reports. It is praised for flexibility and extensibility, while some users cite a learning curve and performance considerations for very large datasets.
