Abstract
System and methods for flexible attribute tracking and report generation for a workflow. One embodiment is a workflow server that receives a selection of attributes to track for print jobs as the print jobs are processed in a print system, and generates print reports based on the attributes being tracked. The workflow server receives an indication to remove a first attribute from tracking, receives an instruction to include data for the first attribute in a print report, retrieves the data for the first attribute that was recorded before removal of the first attribute from tracking, and includes the data for the first attribute in the print report while the first attribute remains removed from tracking.
