Running an HTML5 Chart

The JasperReports Server commercial editions support HTML5 charts, which you can use to create interactive reports. HTML5 charts can be created in the Ad Hoc Editor, iReport Professional, or Jaspersoft Studio Professional. The sample data installed with the server includes several simple examples of HTML5 charts.

To find and run a HTML5 chart example:

1. From any page in the server, type html5 into the search field and press Enter or click . You will see a list of Ad Hoc views and reports that include HTML5 charts.

The following table shows some of the ways you can interact with an HTML5 chart.
