2 Introduction

Many reporting environments require dynamic report customization and implementation of specialized business logic. These needs can range from simply changing text colors based on field values to creating hyperlinks and drilldowns between reports. Style Intelligence provides a complete scripting environment to support such dynamic report behavior.

The Style Intelligence scripting language is based on the ECMA-262 (JavaScript) standard. The scripting environment provides full access to all report elements, and can be used to perform actions on report initialization and loading, as well as handling ongoing user interactions.

The following sections introduce you to the basics of JavaScript programing, and explain how to apply JavaScript in the reporting environment. Since there are many publicly available JavaScript resources, this Guide concentrates mostly on the Style Intelligence host environment, and provides extensive examples of report scripting.
