## 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 set or report result. These tasks are performed in the JReport Enterprise Server environment and do not require use of JReport Designer.

Note: Some functions described in this section use the JReport Live feature of JReport Enterprise Server. If the JReport product you are using is not licensed for JReport Live you will not be able to perform the tasks described in this section.

This section describes the following ad hoc reporting tasks:

- Creating a report
- Adding report objects
- Making simple modifications to report objects
- Saving the report set
- Exporting the report result
