    TIBCO™ JasperReports® Server builds on TIBCO™ JasperReports® Library as a comprehensive family of Business Intelligence (BI) products, providing robust static and interactive reporting, report server, and data analysis capabilities. These capabilities are available as either stand-alone products, or as part of an integrated end-to-end BI suite utilizing common metadata and provide shared services, such as security, a repository, and scheduling. The server exposes comprehensive public interfaces enabling seamless integration with other applications and the capability to easily add custom functionality.

    The heart of the TIBCO™ Jaspersoft® BI Suite is the server, which provides the ability to:

    Easily create new reports based on views designed in an intuitive, web-based, drag and drop Ad Hoc Editor.
    Efficiently and securely manage many reports.
    Interact with reports, including sorting, changing formatting, entering parameters, and drilling on data.
    Schedule reports for distribution through email and storage in the repository.
    Arrange reports and web content to create appealing, data-rich Jaspersoft Dashboards that quickly convey business trends.

    For business intelligence users, Jaspersoft offers TIBCO™ Jaspersoft® OLAP, an optional component of JasperReports Server, controlled by license and described in its own user guide.

    While the Ad Hoc Editor lets users create simple reports, more complex reports can be created outside of the server. You can either use TIBCO™ Jaspersoft® Studio or manually write JRXML code to create a report that can be run in the server. We recommend that you use Jaspersoft Studio unless you have a thorough understanding of the JasperReports file structure.
