iReport

"We have replaced more than 1000 reports originally developed in Crystal Reports with JasperReports using iReport. Reports are part of our ERP, retail and billing solutions." – ASW Inzenjering

iReport Takes Visual Report Design To The Next Level

Jaspersoft’s best-in-class web-based ad-hoc reporting and dashboarding capabilities are right on target for the everyday needs of business users. But some reporting tasks require an added layer of visual and print-ready sophistication. That’s why JasperServer and JasperReports come bundled with iReport—a powerful graphical design tool for report designers and power users. iReport can meet the most complex reporting demands – such as creating print-ready output with absolute pixel-perfect positioning of report elements, and complex multi-component and multi-data source reports using subreports.

But that doesn’t mean iReport requires extra server resources or any special IT “babysitting.” As a 100% pure Java client application -- it’s flexible enough to fit seamlessly in any software environment -- it’s available as a NetBeans plug-in or as a stand-alone rich-client application. And iReport is pre-integrated with both the JasperServer report server, and the JasperReports reporting library.

A Power Tool For Power Users

Administrators, report designers, and power users can use iReport to build complex reports using a sophisticated graphical user interface. With iReport, anyone familiar with standard desktop design applications can:

  • Create reports and dashboards containing multiple tables, crosstabs, charts, and graphics

  • Create charts using a drag-and-drop WYSIWYG designer

  • Create SQL, MDX and Jaspersoft metadata layer queries using graphical query builders
  • Build, test, and run reports from a desktop environment
  • Access any corporate and custom data source
  • Define localized reports with one report definition
  • Preview reports in multiple formats such as HTML, PDF, and RTF

iReport includes a comprehensive library of chart types such as meter, thermometer, and multi-axis. Barcode support is built in. And to accelerate deployment, users can live-preview any chart type.

Complex Data Sources? No Problem.

Sometimes solid business intelligence demands reports with multiple, dynamic, and complex data sources. iReport makes this kind of reporting easier than ever. iReport enables sub-reporting for complex layouts and dashboards, and conditional printing. Designers will also appreciate iReport’s wizards, expression builder with color-coded syntax checker, and object methods list. And iReport can access a wide range of data sources including relational (JDBC), XML, Hibernate, EJB, MDX, POJO, and custom.
