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)

Re: Reports Module v5.0 Released

Gratz! Well done!

Re: Reports Module v5.0 Released

Cool. Will this module render/display a report hosted on Reporting Services 2000/2005?

Thanks...

Re: Reports Module v5.0 Released

@jyjohnson: The module can render a report hosted on Reporting Services 2005 but it does not support Reporting Services 2000 (this is because the Microsoft ReportViewer component only works with Reporting Services 2005).

Re: Reports Module v5.0 Released

I just installed the Reports module and was very easy to get up and running!
I am curious how the HTML decoding/encoding works. Do you have and example you can share?
Any ETA on the users manual?

thanks!

Re: Reports Module v5.0 Released

Great work, so many improvements! I too was wondering about the HTML decode/encode. Thanks so much.
