Two kinds of reports are available in WorldServer:
Dashboard Reports and the reports in the
Report Center.
- Dashboard Reports
- WorldServer Dashboard Reports are available to you in the
Home page. The dashboard comprises four reports:
- Your assignments — shows the number of tasks, projects and words assigned to you and how many tasks and words you have claimed
- Items requiring immediate attention — displays the tasks that are overdue, with auto-errors or with issues
- Active projects volume by language pair — shows the number of words in active projects per language pair
- Recent translation activity — presents the number of active projects, tasks or words in the system over the past month as calculated by the Periodic Work Status recurrence job
The
Number of translated words label displays the number of words translated in all completed and active projects since the creation of the first project in WorldServer.
Note: You need access to WorldServer Web Services to view the Dashboard Reports.
The WorldServer Report Center is a Web-based reporting module. Access the Report Center at
.
The Java-based reporting engine accepts report specifications using the JRXML language, an extension of XML. It is able to produce and display the defined report using data from a variety of data sources, such as relational databases, XML files, and Enterprise Java Beans.
The WorldServer implementation provides a set of 'Custom' data sources (Java classes that return a data set object) for its reporting. This approach has allowed SDL to create a set of 'Data Source' classes that expose required public properties of WorldServer objects to be used for reporting purposes.
Report Center, as shipped, is configured to use Jaspersoft's JasperReports Server. When you access the Report Center in WorldServer, you are shown the JasperReports Server by default.
For information on using JasperReports Server, see the Jaspersoft documentation available from the
WorldServer Product Documentation link on the WorldServer Home page. See especially the following documents:
- JasperReports Server Installation Guide — Describes installing and configuring JasperReports Server
- JasperReports Server Ultimate Guide — Provides in-depth information on administering JasperReports Server
For information about how to create reports, including descriptions of the WorldServer active tables and archive tables to use, and for instructions on how to upload the shipped WorldServer reports, see the
"WorldServer Reporting" chapter of the
WorldServer User Guide.
You can also use Jaspersoft iReport Designer, which you can download from Jaspersoft.com, to create very specialized reports. When you have installed iReport, its help system documents how to create reports.
