Viewing: Running Reports and the Report Viewer

Running Reports and the Report Viewer

JasperReports Server makes it easy to run reports. When you run a report, it opens in the interactive Report Viewer. With the Viewer, you can personalize and refine the displayed report data. If the report has input controls, you run the report with one set of data and then another. Using the report scheduler, you can run reports repeatedly and unattended during off hours or at other times.

This chapter contains the following sections:

   Overview of The Report Viewer

   Running a Flash Chart

   Running a Report with Input Controls or Filters

   Event Messages

The tutorials in this chapter and throughout this guide assume you’ve installed the sample data provided with the server.
