Please welcome the new Memento Database desktop beta version, containing reports creating feature. Something that we all have been waiting for :)  More detailed documentation will be ready soon.


You can download the Desktop app from the following URLs:

Win64: http://mementodatabase.com/download/mementodb-1.3.0-win64.exe

Win32: http://mementodatabase.com/download/mementodb-1.3.0-win.exe

Java: http://mementodatabase.com/download/mementodb-1.3.0-jar.zip


There are now 3 types of reports possible for creation:

  • The table report. Data is shown in a tableview, the fields shown, grouping and aggregation can be chosen manually;

  • The form report. Printing the record card, when each card is printed on a separate sheet;

  • The custom report. The most adjustable and a bit sophisticated. The template needed is created in a separate application, which is called Jaspersoft Studio. It will be just right for the advanced users or the people familiar with Jaspersoft Studio.


Creating reports with Jaspersoft Studio:

0. Download and install Jaspersoft Studio

  1. Create a new report. Choose Data Adapter- One Empty Record as the Data source.There is no suitable data source for Memento for the time being, you won't get the list of fields or the preview data.

  2. Create fields with the same names as in Memento. Jaspersoft Studio displays report’s fields as children of the Fields node in the document outline view. To create a field, right-click the Fields node and select Create Field. On the field properties tab, select the appropriate field class for the field type in Memento. See the table on the wiki: http://wiki.mementodatabase.com/index.php/JaspersoftStudio

  3. Move the fields to the report area - Detail.

  4. Save the template in a jrxml file

  5. Choose this jrxml file when creating the Jasper report in Memento.

On the bar at the top and middle of the screen, there is now a printer icon. Press it to get things started.

I'll be adding wiki pages once I've had a chance to get to know Jaspersoft Studio better.

This works absolutely beautiful for me right now. My boss is going to be happy with his new report.

1) After choosing the fields there needs to be a way to move them up or down. One mistake and you must select them all over
2)  I noticed on the mouse hover it says, report/export but there doesn't seem to be an export option.

I know this is a beta just thought I'd throw out some observations.

I also know Bill isn't responsible for this but I just thought he'd want to know.

I may be on my own to write wiki pages for this. In addition to my own experience playing with it, I'll have the Jaspersoft docs to use, but other than that, any input I can get from this forum would be useful.

I don't want to go thru the process with the jasper software download but does anyone know what the cost is? I'm just a one man show so I would never need a server based option.

The software is free. The only thing server-based about it that I know of is that it works on the Memento desktop edition only, so you need to be able to operate in that environment, which is integral to the Memento Cloud.

Thank you,

  This is great news, I have managed to get my own custom Jasper Reports working, once you figure out the layout its fairly easy, 100% customizable!!  Just have not figured out how to get an image field to display, Idea?

good afternoon,

I have only tried to print on the table report and forms report.
My question is the following:
In the fields barcode and qrcode, you can print the image of the barcode or qr and not print the text that contains the code.
for daily use it is very important, just as it is very practical to be able to search by reading the barcode is equally important to be able to print it to read it.

The photographs if included to print them.

a greeting

Ivan

Today I eas testing out the reports. I have about 25 records in my pseudo journal. When I used a table report the images came out as thumbnails.

So I tried a forms report with one record. The image came out ok. So I tried the entire range of records. I got this message.

Well, I don't know much, but I know that, in general when talking about dynamic programming languages, GC means the "Garbage Collector". This is analogous to the Heap in older programming languages.

Bottom line, I think the default installation of Java on your platformneeds to have a setting tweaked that extends the resources given to the garbage collector. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do that. I would start skulking around within the installation to find an XML or other text file or something with some kind of settings, properties, parameters, or configuration  name.

I get that too. Can't figure it out. Something to do with some other fields being summed up having decimal places.

The other thing about the design of the report is that there is a need to be able to move the report fields up and down after selecting them. Or we have to remove them all and start over again.

I solved it with a calculation, there I used the function "round". Example:
round (# {total pieces} / # {pieces per m2} * 100) / 100.
In this way you get 2 decimals.

In the aggregation Sum in a report I still have to many decimals. How can I control this?

Hello. I downloaded the MementoDB desktop version. But I can´t get past install.

On my Notebook, when the login screen appeared, the computer got extremelly slow, like, impossible to use.

Tried on my desktop PC. At Login Screen, I create a new user, but then, it stays forever trying to create a new user... left it ten minutes trying to create a new user but it seemed to never be able to contact the home site.

After some efforts I figured out how we can put data in tables in Jasper report.
Actually in Jasper tables use separate datasets.

In table Dataset add new Parameter for each field you want inside table.
Then in main report click on table and in dataset property go to parameters and assign these parameters value of fields in your main dataset.
Then set value of table rows as $P{Parameter name}

Hope this Helps!
