rjmacneil Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I'd like to create a dashboard-like report to show several key business indicators on a page using several charts. Is there a tutorial around on how to do that?Would I create each of the charts as a subreport? Thanks For Your HelpRod MacNeil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montero Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 yes, each peice of the dashboard will point to a individual subreport. Each subreport has it's own jrxml file. hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khris_shree Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hi, I have the same problem. I need to create a dashboard, so I had created 1 main report and 2 subreports. I am able to link the subreports with the main report, but what I want is, when I click some thing in the main report, that should take to subreport. But now I am able to see all the 3 reports in one and there is no navigation. Can you please tell me how to create the dash board with navigation(drill). ThanksSrikanthPost edited by: khris_shree, at: 2008/03/25 22:03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sure919 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Use Hyperlinks to drill down (having a link to another report) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coombsj Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 So, by the responses of this topic there are no tutorials in how to create a dashboard.And it sounds like a dashboard is simply a master report with sub reports?What controls are available in a dashboard? Gauge controls?I haven't found them in iReport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giulio Toffoli Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Check out this video I did a couple of months ago:http://jasperforge.org/website/ireportwebsite/IR%20Website/tutorials/Dashboard/Dashboard.htmlThere is no voice, but feel you free to make questions.You can use subreports, but for charts a subdataset is enough. Of course using subreport you can make you dashboard components reusable.Giulio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giulio Toffoli Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 P.S. Gauge control is a special chart type in iReport.Giulio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coombsj Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Do you have any examples of connecting to a SSAS 2008 Analysis server to query KPI values in order to display them in a dashboard situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coombsj Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 In your example there is a list control you use. I am not seeing the list control found under the Report Elements panel in iReport 3.5.0. What might be missing? Thanks, Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giulio Toffoli Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 List has been introduced in 3.5.2 I think.Giulio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giulio Toffoli Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I only tried to connect to an XMLA connection provided by JasperServer, but I don't see where can be the problem on doing the same with SSAS 2008, you just have to point to the XMLA url, the iReport will read the available cubes for you.Giulio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coombsj Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 How do I get a copy of 3.5.2? I downloaded Jaspersoft BI Suite 3.5 last week, it only included the 3.5.0 version of iReport. Any download links I find just point to the BI Suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giulio Toffoli Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Go to the iReport home page and click the big button labeled Download.Please note that the List componet will not work with JasperServer 3.5.2 since it should still use JasperReports 3.5.0 (which I'm not sure it supports lists).Just in case, in the options window of iReport 3.5.2 set the compatibility of the jrxml produced to 3.5.0 (there is a tab called compatibility inside the tab General).Giulio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coombsj Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Why design a report in iReport with lists if I can't run it under the BI Suite for sure?What components are required to run a report that includes a list control?Thank you for your help.

Giulio Toffoli Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 JasperReports and iReport grown really quickly, and new versions are released more frequently.JasperServer is not released at the same rate of speed, this does not mean that at some point it will support all these features.The only requirement is JasperReports 3.5.2 (just that jar to be clear).Giulio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giulio Toffoli Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 by the way, the use of the list component semplifies the creation of simple subreport, but it has many limitations (no auto evaluation time to show percentages, no summary to show totals, no charts in each line and so on). All you can do in a list can be done better (even with some more effort) using a subreport.Giulio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
