You can create a report directly from the Jaspersoft Server Home page. This method allows you to select an existing Ad Hoc view and generate a report from it, without going through the Ad Hoc Editor.
To create a report from the Home page:
1. | On the Home page, click Create Report. |
The Create Report wizard opens.
2. | Select the Ad Hoc view you want to use as the basis for your report, and click OK. |
3. | If asked, enter the input controls needed. See Using Input Controls. |
You can now begin working with your report.
Getting New Perspectives on Data
The report shown in the figure Output of the Accounts Report was created in iReport using the Table Component. As this type of report runs, you can interact with it in the Report Viewer to visualize the data in different ways. Column formatting allows you to highlight certain columns and fields, and filtering and sorting report output on‑the‑fly can provide timely views of the data that answer your questions. For example, suppose you’re running the Accounts Report and want to know how many accounts have offices nearby. Highlighting the phone number column with red text and filtering it to show only accounts in your area code would reveal this data.
