Overview of Jasper reports

VetView uses Jasper iReport or Jasper Studio to pass information in from the system, format it into a PDF, and serve the file for printing.  Certain reports can be set up to print automatically (under Unit Setup >  Event Setup) and other reports can be printed manually by going under the Report menu for each screen. 

• Data Source - Local Reports can only use SQL data source
• Security Role - Controls the option to see and run local reports. The associated role must also be associated with the user.
• Associated Screen - Local reports can be attached in several places in the system. If this field is left blank then the report is available form the "Local Reports" option of the navigation.  For each of the associated screen options the report is then available in a report menu dropdown and also passes automatically a primary identifier for the record that is being viewed.

Custom Reports are modified versions of the system reports included in VetView.  These reports use the same parameters, but can be used in place of the default system report on the pages where they were pulled from.  

Local Reports can use any of the available parameters from VetView, in combination with the SQL statement to pull the data necessary.

Report Images Tab

This tab allows you to upload images for use in reports, and preview the image.

If an image will no longer be used, it can be deleted from the server to save space.
