REPORTING
Procedure:
read notes in project including any related spec docs
Look at existing reports in v7 and generalize them and the features provided that are used
pdf, email, print, download
print / download / email / export immediately as an option no only preview and then those other things
custom fields must be available, perhaps as widgets that handle if they are present or hidden and etc
whatever is easiest from a design point of view
wiki must be a type of field like any other that can be inserted into a report and will properly render
this way they can make a report with only a wiki or a report with a hybrid data and wiki or whatever
and it flows with how the wiki is now just a field on the data object like any other
grid filter options and filter name must be an available field for report designer
probably need a filter summarizer widget that can also be used inside the UI at the top of grids as well
logo field with choice of size to correspond to the logo route
graphs and charts that show in UI should be printable / KPI Metrics stuff
labels wtf?
notification needs to be able to generate reports and send them
Schedule form reporting
keep in mind, but ultimately it's probably a dedicated schedule thing

bar codes, holy fuck this looks good: https://github.com/metafloor/bwip-js used by jsreport too in sample
notification needs to be able to generate reports and send them
Schedule form reporting
keep in mind, but ultimately it's probably a dedicated schedule thing
test harness UI so can quickly test out things via widget list
if it's faster, just whip up some kind of standalone project for testing?
Once clear on needs, research solutions online
This case has a lot of old research in it:
https://rockfish.ayanova.com/default.htm#!/rfcaseEdit/3451
look at commercial ones just to steal ideas
POTENTIAL STRATEGIES
HTML to PDF generated at the server then downloaded or viewed
JSREPORT commercial tool seems to do this and if you look at their samples in their designer it gives clues as to how we could do it ourselves
OPEN SOURCE TOO: https://github.com/jsreport
Their example playground for designing their sample reports shows exactly how they do it, it's like I imagined, templated like mustache / vue exactly
probably rendered to pdf need to dig more and the samples show exactly the types of css and html features needed to do reporting
https://playground.jsreport.net/w/admin/dI2_fUqZ (for example this sample report shows <div style="page-break-before: always;"></div> which is interesting)
The examples are golden for me if I want to go this route, they showcase solutions to literally all the problems I recall Joyce mentioning.
Here is how they describe the overall concept: " The original concept based on javascript templating engines and pdf converters has been proven in time by more than 200 000 downloads."
OPEN SOURCE TOOLS
JSREPORT it's fucking open source completely!!!
https://github.com/jsreport
I can just pore over it and get the gist of what I need
Definitely something here but not sure if it's appropriate or not:
https://github.com/FastReports/FastReport
They have commercial versions, not clear what this open source one is specifically in relation to the rest but it puports to be free and work on .net core
COMMERCIAL REPORTING TOOLS FOR REFERENCE / IDEAS
Seems as though they render on the server then just transport somehow to the client
maybe canvas, as an image, etc
https://www.telerik.com/blogs/using-telerik-reporting-in-net-core-applications
HTML, PDF and OpenXML-based renderings are supported on Linux/macOS.
uses GDI to draw to and requires a libgdiplus library for linux macos to replicate Windows method
Seems like it's not a step in the right direction as it's very Windows graphical in nature and they just try to throw a shim over it on linux

It's all done in Photoshop. Just take screenshots, then transform, rotate, distort them to look flat. Then add some drop shadows for a 3d look.

Good day. I have a pricing question.
I have a software company and am the sole developer and am looking to add reporting to my business software product I will be selling to companies as a product they can install themselves and also will be offering that software as a SAAS rental version I will be hosting for those that don't want to install it themselves.
The project is an asp.net core webapi back end with a Vue html 5 based front end client. My customers will need to be able to design / modify / view / export their own reports off the provided data sources using only an HTML 5 browser at the Client end.
I am investigating rolling my own reporting solution however if the price is viable I might go with a commercial solution such as yours to save time.
Users will need to be able to design reports off our provided data sources as well as print / view and export. It needs to work with asp.net core Windows / Linux / Mac at the back end web api and any modern HTML 5 browser at the client end.
To be clear this would be used in a business software product I am selling directly to my customers who would be using the reporting feature to design / modify and print reports provided by my software for their business. I would provide sample reports they can customize or use as is.
Do you provide licensing that supports this and how much will that cost for a single developer?
