# Trail 6: Creating and Analyzing Ad Hoc Reports

JReport features a powerful ad hoc reporting capability, which allows business analysts to create and manipulate ad hoc reports in the JReport Enterprise Server-powered runtime environment. Ad hoc reports are built from report or business cubes, which organize the data and calculations that are the candidates for the ad hoc report. Moreover, for reports designed in JReport Designer and then published, you can also perform data analysis in JReport Web.

In this trail, we create a report set based on the business cube from Trail 3, and then analyze the reports to obtain new data views. We will also analyze reports built in JReport Designer.
