JasperReports Userview Menu is a userview plugin that allows more complex reporting requirements through integration with JasperReports. By using JasperReports report definitions, sophisticated reports with custom layouts and graphs can be generated and viewed directly within a userview, with optional export to PDF and Excel.

What is JasperReports?

JasperReports is one of the most popular open source reporting engines. It is written in Java to be cross-platform, and it is able to use data coming from any kind of data source and produce pixel-perfect documents that can be viewed, printed or exported in a variety of document formats including HTML, PDF, Excel, OpenOffice and Word.

Note

This feature is not meant to be a replacement for full-function reporting servers like JasperReport Server (http://community.jaspersoft.com/project/jasperreports-server). However, in many cases you do not need such advanced reporting features, and this plugin allows for easy embedding of sophisticated reports directly within a userview.

What is iReport Designer?

iReport is a powerful graphical design tool for report designers and power users to define reports for execution using the JasperReports engine.
