## Track 3: Creating and analyzing ad hoc reports

JReport features a powerful ad hoc reporting capability, which allows end users and business analysts to create and manipulate ad hoc reports in the JReport Server-powered runtime environment.

There are two types of ad hoc reports in JReport, Web Report and Page Report. Both are created from a business view in a catalog. Business views have the capability of providing multiple hierarchies allowing for automatic drill down and drill up for detailed analysis and slicing and dicing data which is especially powerful using a crosstab component.

- Using Web Report Wizard the user can easily in a single pass create a multi-component web report which is viewed in Web Report Studio. Web Report Studio provides the user a very high quality Web 2.0 Rich Internet Application (RIA) view of the report with component level navigation commands. For example, a single pass through the wizard can create a tabular style report with a chart and crosstab followed by the detail information in a table.

- Using Page Report Wizard the user can create a single component page report which is viewed in Page Report Studio. Page Report Studio provides the user a page mode view of the report very similar to a printed report.
