Abstract
A multi-level interface client for business productivity clients such as spreadsheet, word processor, presentation, database and email clients. The multi-level interface client provides backend functionality permitting a business intelligence server, such as an OLAP system to be accessed directly from the productivity client. Reports displayed in the documents native to the productivity client can be updated directly in the client by executing operations on the business intelligence server through the interface client. Layout and formatting information specific to the client is stored as persistence information by interface client in the productivity client document file and is used to refresh the displayed report in the file without a loss of formatting or layout properties.
