DotNetNuke® Project :: Reports Module

The Reports module provides a simple, but flexible, view on data from your DotNetNuke Database. SuperUsers (aka "Host" users) can develop Reports by building a SQL Query and visualizing it with one of the Visualizers built-in to the module or a 3rd-party Visualizer.

How can you use the Reports Module?
  • Display a table of custom data from your Database
  • Display a list of Users in a specific Role
  • Display advanced queries that pull data from multiple tables
  • Display a chart of the number of users in each role
  • Display a report from SQL Reporting Services (EXPERIMENTAL)
Features: What can the Reports Module do now?
  • Display the results from any SQL Query in one of many ways:
    • a Grid
    • a Chart
    • an HTML-based template
    • an XSLT-based transformation
    • or anything else you want with the extensible Visualizer framework
  • Display reports from SQL Reporting Services
  • Import/Export Report Definitions through standard Import/Export Content
Roadmap: What are the future plans for the Reports Module?
  • Full support for the ASP.Net ReportViewer Control and SQL Server Reporting Services
  • Custom Parameters such as @PortalID, @TabID, @UserID that are filled in when the query is run
  • Custom Data Sources to enable the module to display reports containing data from:
    • Your DNN Data Provider
    • Other SQL-based Databases
    • XML Data
    • UDT Module Data
  • Allow SuperUsers to predefine a set of Reports that Admins can use (at this time, only SuperUsers can create Reports)

After a few delays, version 5.0 of the Reports Module has been released to the Module Release Process. This means that it should be released shortly (though given the time of year, it may take a couple of weeks). I'll be posting some How-To screencasts walking through the new features (and some old ones too) in the next week or so. I'm also working on a full User's Guide to be released shortly. Read More »

The main goal of the new Data Sources framework is to be able to support data from any number of varying sources. These sources may be standard relational Databases or they may be other data stores such as Active Directory, Excel, CRM Systems, etc. In order to be as flexible as possible, the Reports module includes a “Generic ADO.Net Data Source” which allows you to query any data source for which there is an ADO.Net Data Provider.

As promised, here is the first of my series focusing on the new data sources in the Reports module version 5.0. The Microsoft SQL Server Data Source allows host users to configure a report to retrieve data from ANY Microsoft SQL Server Database accessible from the web server. Read More »

For the next version of the Reports Module, version 5.0 (which, confusingly, is only the second major release of the module), we are introducing a new Data Sources Framework. This framework is similar to the Visualizer Framework introduced in the 4.x line, but it works in the other direction. While Visualizers are responsible for drawing UI for a Report given its results and some settings, a Data Source is responsible for generating the report results based on its settings.
