Dashboard

JasperReports Server provides many user-friendly features to build interactive dashboards. Some of the advanced features are:

  • Including data from multiple sources by adding a URL to the dashboard
  • Display free text items on the dashboard. For example, add a title to the dashboard
  • Adding input parameters using a single control or multiple controls to update the dashboard’s data
  • Adjusting a dashboard’s layout
  • Setting the canvas size (dashboard display area) to adjust to your system’s screen resolution

For information about the content you can add to a dashboard, see "Dashboard Overview". To learn how to create a dashboard, see "Creating a Simple Dashboard" in the JasperReports-Server-User-Guide.

To export the Jasper dashboard:

  1. Login to RiskVision and access Jasper.

  2. Navigate to Create > Dashboard.

  3. Add the reports to the dashboard.

  4. Click on Dashboard Properties(the Gear Symbol), then check the box next to Show Export button.

  5. Click Apply and then OK.

  6. Save the dashboard.

  7. Navigate to View > Repository > RiskVision > Dashboards.

  8. Run the dashboard created above.

  9. Click on Export > PDF or to any desired format.

    If you are using JasperReports 7.9.0 on RiskVision 9.7, you must place thechrome.path=C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Chrome/Application/chrome.exe chrome path in the js.config.properties files present in the C:\ReportServer\ReportServer\apache-tomcat\webapps\jasperserver-pro\WEB-INF folder and then restart the Jasper services. If exporting the dashboard still doesn't work, perform the following alternative steps.

  10. Download Chromium 79.0.3945.130 for Windows.

    1. Extract the chrome-win.zip to c:\chrome-win on the Windows Server.

    2. Navigate to the C:\ReportServer\ReportServer\apache-tomcat\webapps\jasperserver-pro\WEB-INF folder.

    3. Place the chrome.path=c:/chrome-win/chrome.exe chrome path in the js.config.properties files.

    4. Restart the JasperReports service.
