Run reports via Java backend without the need for a front end.

Hello Gustavo,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

You can perform a report sending scheduling process from the back end by running Flexmonster in a headless browser. We provide an example for reference with Puppeteer — a JavaScript library for working with headless browsers. Please check a sample GitHub project with Flexmonster and Puppeteer: https://github.com/flexmonster/pivot-puppeteer.

It demonstrates how to export the report using server-side capabilities. Our documentation provides more detailed steps: https://www.flexmonster.com/doc/export-and-print/#export-without-browser.

You are welcome to contact us if other questions arise.

Kind regards,
Nadia

Hi Gustavo,

Thank you for the response.

Kindly note that Flexmonster Pivot is designed as a client-side component specifically for visualizing data in the browser, so generating reports server-side without using a headless browser is not within our scope. There are currently two options: exporting the reports manually from the browser or automating this process using a headless browser like Puppeteer. This feature is expected to be handled on the back end of your system, and the solution we suggested with a headless browser like Puppeteer remains the recommended approach for this use case.

Feel free to contact us if other questions arise.

Kind regards,
Nadia
