NextReports Designer: Favorites Menu

In NextReports 6.1 a new Favorites Menu can be found. Favorites are for NextReports what are Bookmarks for a browser. Practically, when a favorite is clicked, NextReports automatically connects to entity (report or chart) data source and the entity is loaded inside designer.

Any report or chart has a new action called "Add to favorites":

This action does just an addition to a list of entities which is stored in user home location. All favorites will be seen from Favorites Menu:

At the end of these links a "Remove favorites" action allows to manage favorites list.

About Me

Mihai Dinca-Panaitescu

Working with Java since 1998 with focus on both server back-end and UI.

In the late 90's till 2003 when not so much frameworks were present I was involved in proprietary server implementation (with all the technology from that time like RMI, JDBC, transactions, Servlets, XML, XSL), user interface with SWING and a lot of algorithms for agriculture business.

In middle 2000's I was involved in many custom development projects adding more flavor to my knowledge : JBoss and OC4J servers, J2EE, Hibernate, EHCache, Ant, JUnit, TestNG

From 2008 I was part of NextReports, starting with designer development in SWING. Then NextReports Server came to life and new technologies were adopted : Spring, JPA, JCR, Wicket, jQuery, Jersey, Maven, Ivy, Git, Android.

Since starting of 2014 I developed a HTML5 library called NextCharts which can be found on github.

I’m currently part of the NextReports developing team at Advantage Software Factory, a local leading provider of business software solutions. NextReports is a business reporting suite composed of reports designer, reporting engine and reporting server. Besides this product, ASF also developed a debt collection software and a CRM solution.
