Jinfonet Software announced the release of JReport 7.3. This new version of the market-leading Java reporting offering provides numerous improvements to the product's usability, information delivery capabilities and enterprise-class embedded reporting. Topping the list of new features are: enhancements to make the report designer's job easier; stronger support for report localization; and improvements to strengthen JReport as an enterprise-class reporting solution. These enhancements help make JReport 7.3 the best embedded reporting solution for large enterprise deployments.

"Jinfonet has a large install base of customers using embedded reporting for their mission-critical applications. We have listened to their requests for product enhancements, and JReport 7.3 incorporates those improvements in the product. It is now an even stronger solution for enterprise reporting," said Fred Richards, vice president of product management for Jinfonet Software. "Customers upgrading to the new version have commented on the breadth of the improvements. Across the board, the product is easier to use and it can better meet the needs of large organizations - the types of companies that make up the majority of Jinfonet's 900+ customers."

JReport 7.3 includes many enhancements to the products usability. These enhancements include: Pre-join and Auto-Join Enhancements,  Search and Filter Support in Resource Viewer, Query Editor Enhancements. JReport 7.3 also dramatically improves the information delivery capabilities of JReport with the ability to create a single report that can be customized for a vast end user population.

Jinfonet's clients include some of the largest names in global business. The reporting requirements for these companies extend to many languages used throughout the world. In support of these international requirements, Jinfonet enhanced JReport's national language support by providing visual tools to build a single report for multiple languages. Report designers can create the base reports in English or the language of their choice and specify the report layout and translation when deployed in any other language. With JReport, the designers can visualize the final report's layout in other languages prior to completing the design and publish process.

Another requirement for large companies is the ability to customize the report formatting across large libraries of report templates. By applying a cascading style sheet (CSS) when exporting a report to HTML format, JReport automatically generates the .css file to control the appearance and layout of the report. Companies can easily maintain libraries of reports that can be customized for specific consumers of the information. Now if a company has multiple divisions, each with its own branding, JReport can publish the same report to each division with information that is tailored to that group in terms of content, and as importantly, in terms of fonts, colors, logos, etc.
