# Reporting

For Reporting, you need an extension from Tabidoo extensions. Here you can find information on how and where to download it and start using it.

Reporting in Tabidoo allows you to generate structured outputs (such as invoices, summaries, or exports) based on your application data. Reports can be reused, automated, and extended using scripts, so once configured, they require minimal effort to maintain.

> **Our tip:** Reporting is ideal for generating documents like invoices from orders. You only need to set the parameters once and then reuse the report for all relevant tables.

### After load (advanced)

In the "After load" tab, there is a place for user script, which is called after load/before rendering the report.

It enables to change or adjust the data which are sent to report.

You are able to change values, reformat them, add columns or tables or even completely change the data source.

In case you do not see the option, you may have an older version of the Reporting extension. Please, choose *Add new table*. Choose the option *Import from templates*. Import the *Reporting system* again into the application. The current *Reporting system* will be updated.

The data can be found in `doo.report.current.data`. Apart from using the data, you can also use or set the report name using property `doo.report.current.name`.

Scripting intellisense for doo.report.current works after the data is loaded (e. g. you go to Designer first). When using this property, the table(s) or data source(s) used for the report will be suggested. Please, be mindful, that the data to the report are loaded as an array, so before specifying a property, you have to select from which row are the properties going to be used. 

> **Our tip**: The script runs on the **server side**. Using a **console.log** will not help here. In case, you need to receive debug messages, add them to the data source.

Example: setting the report name

You can see below an example how to set your report name. Either you can set a fixed name, or you can use a dynamic name based on some value in your report. If the name of your table is not one word, you may have to use bracket notation. 

```javascript
doo.report.current.name = doo.report.current.data.Invoice[0]?.InvoiceNumber;
doo.report.current.name = doo.report.current.data["Incoming invoices"][0]?.InvoiceNumber
doo.report.current.name = 'Incoming invoice.pdf';
```

> ⚠️ When using square brackets `[]` to reference tables in `doo.report.current.data`, avoid diacritics and special characters in table names.
