If anyone is interested, I've developed an interactive visualisation plugin that enables exploration, analysis and visualisation of data in Totara Report Builder reports.

It uses the PivotTable.js interactive Pivot Table library and the plotly.js charting library to turn a Totara Report Builder report into a summary table with a 2-d drag'n'drop UI for manipulating this summary table, effectively turning it into a pivot table, which can then be rendered in a variety of charts.

The plugin is available for download at https://github.com/logicexpertise/totara-local_rbvis/releases

Note, only Totara version 10.0 is currently supported, however I intend to release versions supporting T11 and T12 soon.

Hi Muyi, it looks very useful. Thanks for developing such a plugin, I look forward to the version of the Totara 12.

Hey Muyi!
Finally had a chance to play with the plugin.  It's awesome!

There's a few pieces of functionality that I think would be incredibly beneficial:
  • Ability to save reports/filters (similar to saved search in Report Builder)
  • Ability to display output dynamically in a block (like Report Graph)
  • Ability to be able to schedule/send report outputs
Have you looked into the feasibility of these/are they on the road map?

Thanks Alex! I've added those suggestions to the issue queue and will look into their feasibility.
