I had a job interview and they said this was part of the job description. Could someone break it down in simple terms for me?

The term Ad hoc reporting is used to describe dynamic report creation by end users. Ad hoc reporting is more precisely defined as the ability to create and modify reports that introduce new data items and new presentation formatting. Ad hoc report creation is vastly different from professional report creation. While feature richness is most important for professional report designers creating complex reports, the easy to use and shallow learning curve are the most prominent requirements for Ad hoc business users.

Often called ad hoc reporting, this implies a system that allows users to customize a data query (generally from a database) in real time, as opposed to one that limits them to canned (pre-created) reports. For instance, the reporting system may allow you to select the fields to be returned as well as the limiting criteria for the records to be returned. Often ad hoc reporting is structured to enable someone without extensive SQL knowledge to have similar access to the database

Ad-Hoc usually means "on demand" or "as needed."
