Right now we have got two way to access a Jet Report Report from the Jet Hub :

Option 1 : Download the refreshed Jet Pro Excel file locally

Option 2 : Open the Excel file in the cloud using Excel Online (part Office 365)

I think the third option below would be useful :

Option 3 (Feature Request) :

Being able to view the latest successfull refresh of the Jet Reports report, directly in the web browser (No Excel involved).

Technically this will be rendering the Excel Jet report as an interactive HTML5 web page to provide cross-platforms compatibility.

(Some Javascript/React may be required for interactive features, ie : slicers, Time period ? )

WHY SHOULD WE IMPLEMENT THIS FEATURE ?

1/ Some of our current install based do not like the fact that since the report is in Excel a viewer can actually modify it.

Even when you show them +Lock they find it not robust enough, +lock is also pretty restrictive, as it also lock pretty much everything, ie usage of slicers are also being locked when using +Lock

2/ You can actually display your Jet Reports report straigh away, without downloading it locally (Option 1) or opening it online (Option 2)

Which make it a very nice productivity feature too.

3/ We will be able to embed the Jet Hub inside the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central,

and be able to render & refresh the Jet Reports direction from D365 Business Central,

ultimately this will provide a "unified" user experience.
