We are improving reporting in BlueDolphin to make insights faster, easier to access, and better integrated across the platform. As part of this change, the current reporting feature will be replaced with enhanced Usage Insights, Repository and OData-based reporting.

We are trying to answer your most common questions about the Legacy Reports decommission.
​

Q. What do we mean by “Legacy Reports”?

Legacy Reports is the reporting functionality you can currently find under the Reports menu in the BlueDolphin menu bar .
It is commonly known as the Jaspersoft Reporting functionality.

Q. Why are Legacy Reports being turned off?

We are turning off Legacy Reports so we can focus on newer, more powerful reporting in BlueDolphin. Our goal is to provide you with a better integrated reporting experience.

Q. What is changing in BlueDolphin reporting?

We are moving from Legacy Reports to newer reporting and insights features in BlueDolphin.

This is part of our broader vision to simplify transformation and connect every insight directly to strategic execution.

Q. What reporting features will be available in the new BlueDolphin reporting compared to Legacy Reports?

Usage Insights

Repository

Q. What other improvements are available?

Users can use the following OData datasets

​

Q. When will the Legacy Reports stop working?

Legacy reports functionality will not be available anymore from Apr 1, 2026.

Q. What does this mean for my existing reports in Legacy Reports?

Existing reports will stop working after the Legacy Reports are deprecated. Users will need to recreate or migrate their reports using BlueDolphin’s reporting features or other supported tools before the legacy reports are turned off.

Q. Will my customized reports still work after the decommission?

No. Customized reports built in Legacy Reports will need to be transitioned.
Some complex or highly personalized reports may require manual recreation or alternative solutions.

How can I migrate my reports from Legacy Reports to BlueDolphin or other tools?

Migration of legacy reports

In most cases, migration will involve recreating your reports using the new reporting options in BlueDolphin or another tool.
We will be adding supporting materials to help you through this process from January 2026 onwards. Some of the functionalities mentioned are not available in BlueDolphin yet but will be soon.

Migration scenarios based on report types

Here is a list of report types in the legacy reporting and the migration path to other reporting functionalities in BlueDolphin.

Create reports in the Governance report: Object - Relation - Related object with properties.

This report allows users to select an object definition, then select a relation type, and then a second object definition that is related, through the relation type, to the first object definition. The table will show all objects that match, and you will be able to show any object property and/or questionnaire field on either one of the object definitions.

Limitations

It is not possible to select relationship properties and/or relationship questionnaire fields.

Create reports in the Repository and save the reports as quick filters.

This allows for the selection of object properties and/or questionnaire fields for the selected object definition.

Limitations

It is not yet possible to report on relationship type fields from questionnaires.

Option 1

Create several Repository quick filters with relevant questionnaire fields for each object definition.

Option 2

Create OData-based reports and use them in a BI tool of their choice, allowing for multiple object definitions and associated questionnaire fields in a single report.

Limitations

Option 1

Create several Repository quick filters with relevant metadata fields, for each object definition.

Option 2

Use the Governance report: Object completeness to see metadata for all objects.

Limitations

If you opt for option 1, please note that you may need to create multiple reports depending on your case.

Create OData-based reports and use them in a BI tool of your choice.

ValueBlue can provide a default PowerBI report as an example.

Limitations

You will require access to an OData API key from your BlueDolphin instance.

Create OData-based reports and use them in a BI tool of your choice.

Limitations

Q. What should I do if my reports rely on features not supported in BlueDolphin?

If your reports use unsupported features, you may need to redesign them or use alternative tools like Excel.
Account managers will guide you through available options.

Q. Will someone assist us with the reports migration?

Yes. For eligible customers, an account manager and/or our expert services team will support the migration.
