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.
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.

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