i-net Clear Reports can generate the reports in many different output formats. You can specify the format with the URL parameter init. In the configuration manager dialog "Behavior" it is possible to set the default report output format. Currently we support the following formats:

The Java Viewer is a small Java program to display, navigate through, print, zoom, and export the report result. If i-net Clear Reports receive a report request (report URL) without init parameter then it returns the HTML page containing the applet tag for the Java viewer. The Java viewer can be used as applet and it is possible to embedd it in a client application or applet using the API of the Java viewer.

With the HTML report viewer it is also possible to display, navigate through, print, zoom, and export the report result in a browser. It is set as default rendering format in the configuration manager dialog "Behavior".

RTF is a fromat from Microsoft that can be displayed in Microsoft Word and its browser plug-in.

This format can be used with Microsoft Excel. This can be useful if you want use the data for furter analysis. The XLS / XLSX file consists of a table layout. Therefore it may not be possible to map the complete report layout into the XLS / XLSX file.

This format can be used for example with the Adobe SVG viewer for Internet Explorer. The Firefox supports it since version 2.

These formats can be used to export a single report page as an image. This can be helpful for example if you want to embed it in your web site. The GIF format requires at least Java 6 on the server.

With this format it is possible to archive executed reports as .jra file (without Java Viewer) or .jar file (with included Java Viewer).
You can save the report with the "Save Java Report Archive" button in the Java viewer or with the [documentation:clear-reports:plugins:clear-reports:documentation:en:programming:report-url-parameters#init|init parameter]] in the report URL.
