Automating report design

[rodrigo_43]

Hi All,

I am currently on the path to try and build some kind of tool for aiding report creation process.

The idea is that I have to do reporting in my company and always using same product (big one) so there are some fields (eg: client_id , price, date, etc)  which must always have same format, meaning same pattern formatting wether is a number, currency or date, and same text field dimension, etc.

I was looking to use some xml generating library and make it so I can generate my own jrxml files on user input, always using default configuration for same field, so standards prevail easily.

 

Has anyone ever thought about something like this? Or maybe there is another way I am not seeing for achieving my goal.

 

Any Input is highly appreciated.

Regards,

Rodrigo

Don't know if this will work but have you tried creating "templates"?
