Sample reports and solutions

Samples and out-of-the-box solutions

Forena Reports ships with some fully functional reports that can be used as delivered, after installing and enabling the module. The included reports fit in either of the following categories:

1. Site administration reports, which contain data about the actual Drupal sites. Some of the included reports are:
   • Active Users - A variation of D7's admin/people, including hyperlinks to the Logs for User report.
   • Active Users Email - A demo of the ability to send email to all active users of a drupal site.
   • Enabled Modules and Themes - A table displaying enabled modules and themes, with some related attributes about them.
   • Logs for User - Most recent watchdog log entries for a user (specified as a report parameter).
   • Role Details - A table displaying all users for a Drupal role (specified as a report parameter), and the Drupal permissions granted to them, with for each user hyperlinks to either view or edit the user's profile.
2. Help reports, which contain documentation and sample reports and graphs to discover, learn and understand the functionality of this amazing module.

The included samples and solutions are fairly impressive already, such as the watchdog table report, or the SVG Graph demo. Be aware however that the main purpose of what's included is only to demo the module's functionality in your own Drupal site. There are tons of reasons to add your own custom reports, optionally taking advantage also of available integrations with other modules such as views, BEAN, feeds, date (date_api / date_popup), etc.

Accessing the sample reports and solutions

After installing and enabling the module, select the My Reports link in the Navigation menu. This will list the available samples and solutions.

As an alternative, to access the table of content of available tutorials,
navigate to reports/help.toc. Similarly, navigate to reports/samples.toc for a table of content of available samples.

Folder structure of the sample reports

The source files for the delivered samples and solutions are located in the repos folder in the Forena module subdirectory. This folder contains a subfolder reports with additional subfolders containing various FRX files. These FRX files are the actual XHTML specifications for each of the delivered samples. Other subfolders of the repos folder mostly contain either SQL files or XML files, which are the actual data blocks referred to in the sample FRX files.
