Hello:
I have developed a EGW Amateur Radio application and I’m looking for a
reporting solution. Currently I use either static reports or Next Match
lists to generate reports. Looking for a light weight solution that can be
embedded into EGW that has some flexibility to change the Query on the fly
and to save queries.
Light weight, embedded and flexible? Not really.
You mention static reports, does that mean you have looked into the
existing merge print functionality?
That, combined with favorites (saved queries) is probably the easiest
as the UI and back-end are already implemented, you just need to
implement it for your application and create some templates.
Next in complexity is Import/Export, which allows you to define, save
& schedule queries, but it only exports CSV, which you could process
after into a pretty report. It does support the possibility of
exporting to other formats, but nobody’s needed it yet.
If those options don’t work or can’t be made to work for your
situation, then you’re in for some work. I have added in an
additional reporting system before for projectERP. Worked fine, but
was not as simple or easy to use as the current system where you just
select & insert into document. Between Jasper & Reportico, Reportico
looks to be easier to integrate because it’s in PHP, and apparently
supports AJAX.
