Sample App Descriptions

The following sample applications, with their source code, are available on the DevNet web site. Click a title link below to run the application:

Analysis Chart
This sample application demonstrates use of the Analysis Chart element. The Analysis Chart allows users to dynamically alter the chart types and data at runtime directly from their browser. Chart types available include: Pie, Bar, Line, Curved Line (Spline), Scatter, and Heatmap.

Analysis Grid
This sample application demonstrates use of the Analysis Grid element. The Analysis Grid allows users to dynamically alter the visible report directly from their browser. Options demonstrated include: Add new columns from user-defined formulas, create five kinds of charts, create dynamic crosstab tables, export data to CSV, Excel, or PDF.

Animated Maps
This sample demonstrates the use of the Animated Maps, which are animated, interactive, data-driven, Flash-based maps for Logi applications. Developers can use them to display geographical data distributed by category, regions, or entities. Usage examples include statistical display of data, election results, survey results, or business intelligence such as "Revenue by Regions" or "Revenue by States". They do not work with zip codes or geocoded (latitude- and longitude-based) data.

Basic Chart
This sample application demonstrates how to create a basic chart and is a good introduction to charts for new developers. The techniques demonstrated include: Creating a basic Bar chart, adding a 2nd data series (shown as stacked bars), adding a legend and data-based tooltips.

Basic Data Table
This sample application demonstrates how to create a basic data table and is a good place for new developers to begin. The techniques demonstrated include: Creating a basic table, using a style class for alternate rows, using a Condition Filter to limit rows, adding a Calculated Column, adding a Summary Row, freezing column headers and scrolling the rows.

Bookmarks
This sample demonstrates Bookmarks, a mechanism for saving and recalling the user-configurable settings and request parameters for a report, at runtime. They're especially useful when working with "super elements" such as the Analysis Chart, Analysis Grid, and OLAP Grid.

Chart Grid
This sample application demonstrates the Chart Grid element. The Chart Grid is a table filled with charts, representing separate data sets for each cell. Options allow the user to dynamically interact with the data at runtime, under developer control. The sample application demonstrates the use of: Chart Grid Panels, chart popup zoom panel, drillthrough to underlying data in a detail report, Time Period Columns for X-axis date data, and techniques for saving, restoring, reseting, and refreshing the grid.

Chart Canvas Charts
This sample application demonstrates how to create many different types of charts using our JavaScript-based family of Chart Canvas Chart elements. These charts do not use Flash and therefore do not require a browser plug-in to view them.

Crime Statistics
This sample application, one of our "Solutions" series, demonstrates a variety of Chart Canvas Charts and advanced development techniques, including Bar, Bubble, Pie, and Scatter chart series, Bar and Indicator gauges, tabs and AJAX refresh of report sections, use of subreports, use of a custom theme, and the use of custom Quicktips with charts.

Crosstab Table
This sample application demonstrates the Crosstab table. "Crosstabs", as they are frequently called, are used for comparisons, often over time, between different values and can "pivot" the data in unique ways.

Dashboard
This sample application demonstrates the use of the Dashboard element for presenting reports, charts, and key performance indicators. Features demonstrated include: Dashboard with 12 different example panels, customizable panels and layout, adjustable reporting parameters, panel updates using refresh timer.

Data Calendar
This sample demonstrates the Data Calendar element, including: Monthly and Weekly data-driven calendars, data-based links embedded within the days on the calendar, application of Conditional Classes based on data, calling and getting data back from a popup calendar.

Data Grouping
This sample demonstrates basic techniques for grouping data, including: grouping on a single column, "distinct" grouping, grouping on multiple columns, grouping and generating group aggregates (sum, count, etc.), grouping and displaying summarized data, and hierarchical grouping.

Data Tree
This sample demonstrates the Data Tree element, a hierarchical list of related data items with expandable/collapsible branches, that makes a nice vertical menu. Feature demonstrated include: A basic 3-Level Data Tree menu, and a Data Tree menu, using JavaScript to expand specific entries at page load and to expand or collapse all levels at once.

Datalayer Columns
This sample demonstrates elements that add new columns in datalayers, including Aggregate (Count, Sum, Min, Max, etc.), Calculated, Difference, Moving Average, Percentage Total, Rank, Running Total, Sequence, Date formatting and CXMLDate function, and Time Period (parses dates and times).

This application demonstrates the effects of a Definition Modifier File (DMF). DMFs allow Logi Info developers to modify any of the elements or attributes in a report definition, based on conditional criteria, at runtime. In this sample, when a DMF is included, the report's data table column header text is translated to French and export links are added to the report footer.

Dimension Grid
This sample demonstrates the Dimension Grid element, which displays data from a XOLAP cube. Featured elements include: Dimension Grid, XOLAP Cube, XOLAP Dimensions and Measures, XOLAP Levels, DataLayer.XOLAP, and Calculated measure. The sample app also demonstrates techniques for saving, restoring, and resetting the Dimension Grid settings.

A Google Map is an interactive geographic map that can be programmed to identify locations, based on data. Polygon and polyline overlays can be added based on GIS data. Markers and regions can be clicked to drill-down for detail information.

Heat Map
This sample demonstrates the Chart.Heatmap element, which produces one of the most unusual charts found in Logi reporting products. Heat Maps display data graphically in a way that's intuitively easy for people to understand. Information is shown in blocks and the size of the blocks is set by one data column, while its color is set by another.

Leaflet Map
This sample demonstrates the use of Leaflet Map elements, which work with public map tile servers such as MapQuest, OpenStreets, and Bing.A Leaflet Map is an interactive geographic map that can be programmed to identify locations, based on data. Polygon and polyline overlays can be added based on GIS data. Markers and regions can be clicked to drill-down for detail information.

This sample demonstrates Mobile Reporting features which allow developers to create Logi reports for mobile devices. Features demonstrated include: HTML table, Bar charts with auto-sizer, Gauges, Mobile Dashboard, Data table with demand paging, and user input examples.

OLAP Grid
This sample demonstrates the OLAP Grid super-element. The OLAP Grid displays data retrieved from an OLAP cube, along with controls that allow users to interactively modify it. At runtime, users are able to select Dimensions for the left and top axes, select Measures, select Filters for slicing the data, drill-down on Dimension members, create a variety of charts, and export OLAP Grid data to Excel. Requires connection to Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services and an AdventureWorks database cube.

Plug-in (.NET)
A Logi .NET Plug-in is a compiled assembly (.DLL) containing custom code that runs when page requests are processed. Plug-ins make it possible to run your own customized code, extending the functionality provided by Logi products. Example actions include: modifying report definitions before they're rendered, creating or modifying application data, getting data from unusual sources, modifying the finished HTML response stream before it is sent back to the browser, interacting with the web server OS, and writing custom messages to the Debug Trace page. This sample can only be downloaded from DevNet, it cannot be run.

Plug-in (Java)
A Logi Plug-in for Java is a Java class containing custom code that performs actions while each request is processed. Plug-ins make it possible to run your own customized code, extending the functionality provided by Logi products for building reports. Plug-ins can modify definition files before they're rendered, create or modify data from DataLayer elements, modify the XHTML response stream before a page is sent back to the browser, set session variables, and more. This sample can only be downloaded from DevNet, it cannot be run.
