-
- BIRT Report Designer
-
- BIRT Designer is an intuitive and quite easy Eclipse-based set o=
f plugins to make reports.
- In this chapter we will describe its interface and its features to=
you.
-
-
- BIRT User Interface
-
- The central part of the user interface is the Layo=
ut Editor. It
- displays the whole process of building a report and contains t=
he following tabs:
-
-
-
- Layout - this is =
an area where you can edit
- your report design;
-
-
- Preview - runs yo=
ur report created and shows
- the output;
-
-
- Script - on this =
page you can add JavaScript
- to your report to customize its behavior;
-
-
- XML Source - this=
is an area where you can
- view and modify the XML source of your report;
-
-
- Master Page - use=
it to format page
- data.
-
-
-
- The next part of user interface is different Views=
that can be
- arranged around the Layout Editor area the way you like:
-
-
-
- Palette - shows t=
he standard report items you
- can add to your report using drag and drop.
-
-
- Outline - shows t=
he structure of your report
- as a tree view.
-
-
- Navigator - shows=
your projects and reports
- within the projects.
-
-
- Data Explorer - s=
hows your data sources, data
- sets and report parameters. You also can use this view=
to add data set columns
- to your report layout.
-
-
- Property Editor -=
displays properties for
- many report items.
-
-
- Properties View -=
shows all properties for a
- report item as a simple list.
-
-
- Library Explorer View - allows the reuse of
- report objects, such as tables, data sources and style=
s. Objects created for
- reuse are stored in a library file. The Library Explor=
er will display Libraries
- that exist in the Resource folder. Developed libraries=
can be added to the
- resource folder by selecting File=E2=86=92Pu=
blish Library in Resource
- Folder. The resource folder location ca=
n be configured.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- BIRT Report Designer Features
- Here are the main BIRT Report Designer features:
-
-
- Palette - contain=
s tables, labels, and
- charts. It is used in conjunction with the Layout View=
to design reports.
-
-
- Data Explorer - o=
rganizes your data sources
- and data sets. The Data Sets editor enables testing yo=
ur data set to check
- whether the report receives the correct data. You can =
also create cubes using
- your data sets (when building any dynamic cross tables=
) and design necessary
- report parameters.
-
-
- Resource Explorer=
- BIRT allows the reuse of
- report objects, such as tables, data sources and style=
s. Objects created for
- reuse are stored in a library file. To browse the cont=
ents of report libraries
- BIRT supplies the Resource Explorer view. This view li=
sts all libraries within
- the resource folder, in addition to other shared conte=
nt such as images and
- JavaScript files.
-
-
- Property Editor -=
shows the most commonly
- used properties. BIRT also integrates with the standar=
d Eclipse property view to
- display a detailed listing of all properties for an it=
em.
-
-
- Layout View - WYS=
IWYG editor. You can select
- any element from the Palette, drag and drop it to the =
report and then edit the
- way you like.
-
-
- Script Editor - s=
cripting adds business logic
- to reports during data access, report generation, or v=
iewing. The code editor
- provides standard features for editing scripts: syntax=
coloring, auto-complete
- etc. You also can debug scripts when the report is run=
ning.
-
-
- Report Preview - =
Report Preview is used to
- test your newly created report with some real data.
-
-
- Chart Builder - u=
sing the Chart Builder you
- can add any charts to the design of your report. Just =
select a chart type, then
- data and, finally, format the chart.
-
-
- Expression Builder - expressions are simple
- scripts that return a value. They are used to assign d=
ata values to report
- elements, build image locations, hyperlinks, parameter=
default values
- etc.
-
-
- Cheat Sheets - Ch=
eat sheets are small pices
- of useful documentation that lead you through a report=
creation process. Just
- select what you need and then follow the instructions.=
-
-
- Outline - this vi=
ew provides a compact
- overview of the entire report structure.
-
-
-
- In this guide we made a short overview of the BIRT plugin: =
its installation, support,
- features etc. that will help you to make your first steps with=
it.
