Using DracScript and Elementary Reports:

With DracScript you or third parties can add extra functionality to Elementary Reports.  DracScript can be used to create simple programs that can be executed by an Elementary Reports user from a special menu that will appear when a script has installed.

To install a script you just copy the script to the ‘scripts’ folder in the Elementary Reports data directory, and then start Elementary Reports.  Scripts are cached, so if you make changes to a script you should restart Elementary Reports to use the new version.

After a script has been installed, a new menu will be present in Elementary Reports – the “scripts” menu.  Use this menu to execute your scripts.
