However, there were some teething issues with current Liferay report admin portlet that was hampering developer’s abilities to reach gold standards. It caused deviances of errors and consumed lot of time navigating through these issues.

Our plugin is aimed at solving all these troubles like:

Report Admin portlet in Liferay is sensitive and users need to navigate different pages to upload and download reports with jrxml files.
Less user-friendly due to multi-level complexities of upload/download of files
Manually Typing Keys and other parameters increase possibility of errors in reports
In Liferay’s Report admin portlet we must add parameter like key and type manually so it will be prone to errors.
Visibility of all the definitions of based on permissions is challenging
In Liferay’s Report admin portlet all definitions are not visible to base on permissions

Solution:

Jasper report plugin is configurable in which you can choose definition based on role’s view permission.
Parameters will be fetched automatically from the jrxml file and it will generate input elements based on selected jrxml bypassing the need to add key and type of parameters manually.
Jasper Report Plugin is highly user-friendly as it allows generation and downloading of reports from a single page.
Accessibility and control of the plugin is secure as it provisions Liferay Report Admin Portlet to Allow and Deny access based on jrxml file definitions.
Jasper report plugin is accessible to any user so only admin needs to add definitions(jrxml) from Liferay Report Admin Portlet.
