Importing RiskVision Charts into the JasperReports Server

You can import a RiskVision chart saved in JRXML format. RiskVision charts can be enhanced using the additional features of JasperReports, such as fonts, a query that restricts the report data from displaying additional details and so on.

To import a RiskVision chart:

  1. Go to Analytics > Analytics and Reporting. The JasperReports Server menu appears.
  2. On the View menu, click Repository.
  3. Expand the folder to locate the desired group where you want to import the chart.
  4. Right-click the folder and point cursor on Add Resource option to select JasperReport. The Add Resource page appears on the context menu only if you have write permission to the folder.
  5. In the Setup page that appears, enter Name, Resource ID and optional Description for the report.
  6. Locate the JRXML file by selecting Upload a Local File and then click Browse to select the appropriate file.
  7. Click Controls and Resources. The JasperReports Server uploads the JRXML file to the repository and provide suggestions on missing resources like images, input parameters, and more.

    1. If the exported RiskVision chart contains input parameters, perform the following steps:

      • Click Add Input Control.

      • Choose Select an Input Control from repository and click Browse. In the Select Resource From Repository dialog, expand > Public > Input Controls > Multi Select and select the control.

      • In the Set the Datatype Kind and Properties page, perform the following steps:

        1. Retain the default selection "Text" in the Type drop-down box.
        2. Specify a name for the resource in the Name (required)field and an ID for the resource in the Resource ID (required)field. The value to be entered in the sfield is the name of the parameter found in the JRXML file (exported RiskVision chart).
