Order of input controls

[pumaking]

Hello,

 

I have a simple question: Is it possible to change the order of the input controls I created in Jasperserver?

Currently, no. The functionality is planned for a future JasperServer release.

 

Regards,

Lucian

jasperserver displays the input controls in the order you created them.

if you need to change the order, you can delete the input controls and create them in the order you want them to be displayed.

but i think you already mentioned this alternative.

I thought that is is going this way. Isn't there a possibility to change the order directly in mysql?

 

Also I have another question regarding input controls: When I create the input controls, I can enter a description. How can this description be displayed to the user? I need to explain some of my input control fields.

That's of course possible. See the JIReportUnitInputControl table.

Input control descriptions are not used in any way in the report input controls form. If you want to somehow display descriptions, you could create a custom input controls JSP and use it for your reports.

It's been 6 years and there still isn't an update on this. How confident should one feel before "buying" Jasper Server enterprise edition, compared to Tableau or even Excel 2013 with PowerPivot?
