Robust Print Screen Reporting

A representative beneficiary screen is shown on the right. Screen XML would have been configured by the implementer to set this up.

When the user clicks on the Print Screen icon in the Icon bar, the report detailed below is automatically generated.

Screen XML parameters allow the implementer to easily control the behavior of the screen print report. In the report shown to the right, the SSN has been dropped from the report, the Gender title has been changed to Sex and the long value of gender has been replaced with the short value (i.e. M instead of Male).   [ back to Out Of The Box functionality ... ]

Integrated Report Writer

The open source JFreeReports reporting engine has been layered into the hrMecca administration application. For complex data screens, the print screen report can be configured to run against JFreeReports configuration XML, allowing the report to be formatted in any fashion. For robust reports not associated with any particular screen, dialogs can be set up that query the user for report parameters (begin date, end date, etc.), javascript can then be attached to the dialog that performs complex data manipulation and then a JFreeReport can be invoked that reports on the data assembled by the javascript. Using this approach, any reporting scenario can be accomodated.

An example report using this approach is shown below.
