NextReports: Single Table / Pivot Widget

NextReports Server can show inside a dashboard as many widgets as you like. But sometimes when you need all the space available, a single widget is desired. This may be the case when you have a table or a pivot widget.

To use as much space as possible dashboard must have a single column. Also dashboards tree may be hidden:

The problem in versions 7.3 and previous is the height of the widget which has a fixed value. This is good in case two or more widgets are found inside a dashboard:

But if a single table /pivot widget is found, it would be nice to have the height 100%. So, newer versions of NextReports Server will take this into account, allowing for full space expansion:

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.
