The current implementation of traditional reporting is limited by the physical
constraints of both time and space. Besides that, other concerns such as inadequate
equipment and safety hazard ofdatabase handling are also deterring the effectiveness
of the reporting process. An online reporting is aimed to provide an alternative
approach in implementing automate database data into forecasting where staff can
participate interactively and experience interactive online database system. Besides
that, this project will also lift the limitations faced by the traditional compiling
database work. The targeted user for this project ranges from staffs up to
superintendents and managers. The reporting contents were constructed based on
basic and simple online reporting that will provide users with the understanding of
the database compilation. Meanwhile, the development of the online reporting
system is using Microsoft Excel, Manage Engine OpUtils and the World Wide Web
technology as the platform. Usability aspect of the system is also given priority in
order to develop a user-friendly environment. RAD development methodology was
followed in the development of the whole system that ensures effective design
process takes place by giving users what they need. By integrating proven
methodologies, interactive multimedia application and web technology, the online
