Ad Hoc Reporting

Ad hoc reporting empowers business users with self-service information access. An effective ad hoc tool must have two key components: data and visuals. Data access components must present intuitive views of business data. Visual components should give novice users the ability to either visually analyze the data or retrieve it as documents or data files.

In Addition to Ad hoc Reporting, There is Self-Service Customization

All visualizations, dashboards, and document reports published in the MetaDash web app have built-in fine-grained self-service customization. If a business need is similar to an existing report or dashboard, this ad hoc need can probably be satisfied by simple customization.
