Usually "dashboards" mean a way for a user-defined layout of multiple reports on a web page. Well, there are lots of varying definitions... but they're something along these lines.

JasperServer Professional has dashboards. But by the definition above JasperReports really could not possibly have dashboards. It is fundamentally a report generation library. Combining reports together into a web GUI is outside the scope of what JR could do.

On the other hand, JR can design a single report that has multiple charts, tables, subreports, etc. combined in a way that someone might call a dashboard. It wouldn't have the ability for an end user to drag and drop to modify it, so it wouldn't meet that part of the definition. But it might be sufficient for many needs.

Regards,
Matt
