Jasper Reports

Jasper Reports is the world's most popular Java reporting engine. Combine data sources and produce pixel-perfect documents that can be viewed, printed, or exported into a variety of document formats with this powerful reporting tool. Archi can export models in various formats using Jasper Reports Templates.

This option is available from the "Report->Jasper..." menu item from the main "File" menu. Once a model is selected in the Model Tree or in a View this menu item is enabled. Provide the details in the following wizard:

HTML Reports

Archi supports a basic reporting functionality by means of generating a single HTML page containing summary tables of the model elements and the Views in a model.

This option is available from the "Report->HTML..." menu item from the main "File" menu. Once a model is selected in the Model Tree or in a View this menu item is enabled. Select a folder to export the model and its Views.

A single HTML page, "report.html" is generated in the chosen output folder together with image files for the Views in the model.
