Less duplicated work
Use a common integration pattern across applications instead of rebuilding template and download handling for each one.

Illustrative product workflowSimplify reporting
Build reporting once. Use it across your applications.
Bring template management, generation, file storage and report delivery into one service. Application teams can focus on their business workflows while administrators maintain reporting from a central workspace.
Consistent report control
Keep template versions, report history and connection profiles together, with a clear active version for generation.
Ready for longer reports
Submit a request, track its progress and retrieve the completed output without holding the original request open.
How it works
From request to a ready-to-use report.
- 1
Request
Your application sends an authenticated request with the template code, output format and report parameters.
- 2
Reuse or queue
The service returns a matching completed report when available, or queues a new generation request.
- 3
Generate & track
The background worker generates and stores the output. Your application checks the request status.
- 4
Download & deliver
Once completed, retrieve download information or stream the generated file to your application.
Product capabilities
Manage the complete report lifecycle.
Practical tools for application integration, reporting operations and administration.
Shared reporting service
Connect multiple business applications to one reporting service through a REST API. Submit a template, output format and dynamic parameters without duplicating reporting logic in every application.
Versioned report templates
Upload and validate JasperReports JRXML templates, inspect their parameters and manage versions. Activate the template version that should be used for new reports.
Background report generation
A database-backed queue processes report requests in the background. Applications can check whether a request is pending, processing, completed or failed.
Report reuse & regeneration
Reuse a completed report when its template, format and parameters match and its stored file remains available. Request a fresh generation when updated data is required.
Multiple export formats
Deliver PDF, Excel (XLSX and XLS), CSV, HTML and ZIP output. Available output depends on the selected template and the parameters supplied.
Central connection management
Manage reporting database connection profiles centrally and activate the profile the service should use, reducing repeated configuration across client applications.
API access management
Create, update and revoke API tokens, with configurable scopes and expiry. Tokens are hashed in storage, and token management actions are audit logged.
Report history & maintenance
Search history by request ID, template or status. Inspect and download generated reports, or remove a history record and its stored file when needed.
Administration portal
Give reporting administrators one place to manage tokens, connections, templates and report history. Administrative functions require an administrator account.
Integration & setup
Fit reporting around your existing applications.
We can discuss your current templates, reporting data, output requirements and application workflows to define a suitable integration scope.
Connect client applications
Use API-token authentication, save the request reference, check progress and retrieve completed files from your application.
Configure reporting operations
Configure queue batch size, polling interval, database connection pool, retention period and file storage locations for your deployment.
Plan template delivery
Review JRXML templates and required parameters with your team, then validate the reports and formats your workflows need.

Who is Reporting Tool for?
It is designed for teams managing reports across multiple business applications, with a central administration workspace for reporting operations.
Which formats are supported?
PDF, XLSX, XLS, CSV, HTML and ZIP are supported by the report processor. The selected template and supplied parameters determine the actual output.
Can we generate a fresh report instead of reusing one?
Yes. An integration can explicitly request regeneration. Otherwise, an existing completed report may be reused when its template, format and parameters match and its stored file is available.
Can we use existing JasperReports templates?
The tool supports JasperReports JRXML templates, with upload validation, parameter inspection and version activation. We can review your existing templates for suitability.
Are recurring schedules or automatic email delivery included?
Recurring scheduled reports and email or SMS notifications are roadmap items, not current built-in capabilities. Contact us to discuss any additional requirements.
