Managing Reports Created Using JasperAssistant

To access the report you created using JasperAssistant through the Business Process Portal:

2. From the Report drop-down list, select the application where you saved the report you created using JasperAssistant or select All Reports. Click Go, and the reports are displayed in the workspace.
3. For JasperReports, a drop-down list is displayed in the View Format column that provides options for the report’s presentation. By default, it is set to HTML. Other options include: PDF, RTF, CSV, XLS and XML.
The XML and XLS options display a link. You can right-click on that link and save the report in your machine to view it locally.
4. JasperReports may also include Broadcast and Schedule options. Click the Broadcast icon () to open the Broadcast Report page, where you can enter data to automatically email the report to specific addresses.
You can enter the subject, add comments and select the format of attachments. Options include: HTML, PDF, RTF, CSV, XLS and XML.
5. To run and distribute the report on a specific date and on a predetermined frequency:
a. Select the Yes option in the Schedule section.
b. Enter a date in the Date box or click the Select Date icon to display a calendar that facilitates the date entry. Select an option from the Frequency drop-down list.
c. Click Save to execute the Broadcast and Schedule operations. Business Process Server saves these settings after your confirmation.
6. To view the report, select this JasperReport in the Report List page, select a format from the View Format drop-down list, and click View.
