Running and Scheduling Reports

On the JReport Server user console, you can perform report related tasks according to your requirements. For example, you can view reports in different formats, schedule tasks for the reports. The report running tasks are recorded in different tasks tables. You can view the status of these tasks, such as scheduled tasks that are waiting to be performed, the tasks that are currently being performed, and the tasks that have already been performed in different task tables (for details, refer to Managing Tasks).

You can also use URL commands to directly run reports and schedule tasks. For details, refer to Running reports and Scheduling Reports in the URL chapter.

Tip: You can customize the JReport Console > Resources page to suit your requirements by setting your own preferences. To do this:

Click Tools > Preferences on the task bar of the Resources page.
In the General tab of the Preferences page, specify the default viewing format when directly running a report, and set which columns will be shown in the resource information table.
In the Export Formats tab, predefine the properties for each export format which will be applied when you run or schedule a report.
Click OK to apply the settings. The specified default report viewing format and export properties will be saved into the server profile.
