## Ad hoc reporting

Ad hoc reporting allows a business analyst or end user to create a new report, add new objects to an existing report, modify report objects, and save the report or report result. These tasks are performed in the JReport Server environment and do not require use of JReport Designer.

This section describes the following ad hoc reporting tasks:

- Creating a report tab
- Adding report objects
- Applying web controls
- Making simple modifications to report objects
- Saving the report
- Exporting the report result
