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.
This chapter contains the following sections:
| • | Overview of The Report Viewer |
| • | Running or Creating a Simple Report |
| • | Running a Fusion Chart |
| • | Running a Report with Input Controls or Filters |
The tutorials in this chapter and throughout this guide assume you’ve installed the sample data provided with the server.
The Report Viewer allows you to view a report, export content to various output formats, and apply formatting, sorting, and filters to control how the data is displayed.
This section describes the functions available in the Report Viewer. You can find more detailed information about using this functionality throughout this chapter.
