Pentaho Report Designer

The Pentaho Report Designer (PRD) is a desktop application that provides a visual design environment to create report definitions. The report definitions can be executed and saved locally via PRD or published to a Pentaho BI Server to allow many people to access and schedule report execution. PRD is geared towards experienced and power users, who are familiar with the concepts and data-sources used.
