Setting Advanced Options for HTML5 Charts in Properties View

You can add or edit advanced options for HTML5 Charts using the Chart Properties dialog. This section shows how to prevent users from changing chart types in reports you upload to JasperReports Server.

When you create an HTML5 chart in Jaspersoft Studio and upload it to JasperReports Server, users may see a Canvas Options icon . Clicking this icon displays a Chart Types... option that allows the user to select a different chart type. You can disable this option at any level – for the chart, for the report, or for this instance of Jaspersoft Studio.

To disable this option for a chart:

1. Select the chart element in the Design or Outline view.
2. In the Properties view for the chart element, click the Advanced tab.
3. Expand the Misc section and click ... next to Edit Properties.

The Properties dialog opens.

4. Click Add to add a new property.
5. Enter the following information:
•      Name: com.jaspersoft.jasperreports.highcharts.interactive
•      Value: false
6. Click OK and then click Finish.

Like many advanced charting options, this option can be set at a higher level. If you set an option at multiple levels, the lowest level is the one that is applied.

• To disable this option for a report, click on the report's root node in Outline view and make sure the Properties view is displayed. In the Properties view, on the tab, select Advanced > Misc > Properties and click ... to open the Properties Dialog. Enter the values shown above and click OK twice to apply the setting.
• To disable this option Jaspersoft Studio, select Window > Preferences from the menu (Eclipse > Preferences on Mac). In the Preferences dialog box, select Properties and click Add to open the Properties Dialog. Enter the values shown above and click OK twice to apply the setting.

You can also set this particular option in JasperReports Server. See the JasperReports Server Administrator Guide for more information.
