jasper server 4.0 (CE) Dashboard interface

[mandm]

 I had a requirement to check if jasper had a capability to create a dashboard of reports in the repository and then the user clicks on one of the charts and it takes them to the reports input parameter interface where he can then run the report?

 

Does jasperreports-server-cp-4.0.0 have that capability? i purchased the JS-Ultimate guide 4.0, but it mentions for files like JI-menu.xml...etc which i cannot find? 

any other hints?

JasperReports Server commercial edition has dashboarding as a feature. JasperReports Server community edition does not have this feature.

But it sounds like your goal is to create a report that lists out a bunch of other reports. Then clicking on one of these links takes you to another report. You can certainly do that in JasperReports Server community edition.

hi mdahlman,

Thanks for replying, but i might have confused you, so what i want to do is to change the main page once you login into the jasperserver portal 4.0

Once you login you see a list of all the report names with descriptions and dates

I wanted to change that to show static images (instead of report names), that can be clicked to get to the report paramters, i am assuming i might have to change some jsp files for this?

can you please let me know?

Hi mdahlman,

Do you think these is a way to customize the output of jasper server, once we login instead of showing the names of the report and description, can we show static images which can then be used similarly to run report on click or have all the right click options retained..?

[mdahlman]

I hesitate to answer because your initial question and your clarification sound unrelated to me. That's a sign that I don't understand the question.

If you want a page that displays the same thing as before--but in a different format that includes images and hides dates, etc.--then you ought to be able to achieve that via only CSS changes. Of course it's possible that .jsp changes might be needed as well, but in theory I don't see why they would be needed.

Hi mdahlman,

Thanks for your response, yes my initial question was out of confusion, its not a valid question, so for your better understanding i am attaching 2 images,

 

image1 is the way our report lists looks right now --> i have edited the names for privacy

image2 is the way we want to display those reports (like images) and all the right click features should also work on them

 

if its a css change can you tell me which css file i am looking at?

Hi mdahlman,

I tried to research your suggestion about the css changes and it really helped me clean up a lot of stuff on the report list page,

but the code in /opt/jasperreports-server-cp-4.0.0/apache-tomcat/webapps/jasperserver/WEB-INF/jsp/modules/templates/list.jsp

 

    <li id="tabular_fourColumn_resources:leaf" class="resources">
        <div class="wrap button draggable">
            <div class="column one">
                <div class="scheduled icon button"></div>
                <div class="disclosure icon button"></div>
            </div>
            <div class="column two" >
                <h3 class="resourceName"><a></a></h3>
                <p class="resourceDescription"></p>
                <p class="resourcePath" ></p>
            </div>
            <div class="column three"></div>
            <div class="column four">
                <p class="modifiedDate" title=""></p>
            </div>
        </div>
    </li>
</ul>

is really what i am focusing on

if i add so i wanted to add a list of images to be rendered instead of the resourceName class, but when i make any change to the <a> section (highlighted in red) then the entire page is blank

i tried adding and <img src="logo.png"> but that repeated the same image for all files, is there a way i can render different image for each report name?
