3.5. Report with Chart Output

Using the report wizard, you can create reports with chart output in the same way as any other report types. The only difference is that you will need to configure the chart template after finishing the report in the wizard.

This example is based on the petclinic application, which source code is available at GitHub.

  1. Add the Charts addon to your project via CUBA Add-Ons window as described in the Studio documentation.

  2. Start creating a report as described in the previous chapters.
