Report Template

Top Previous Next

A Report Template defines page layout and different transformations that are applied to the source data when report is run. The report template is defined in XML, and stored as a property of the report. The Report Template is automatically generated during report creation. This auto-generated template is based on the data that fetched by the Source Data Expression. There are two ways to modify the template of an existing report:

•	Directly in XML format, using the Configure Report action of a report context.

•	Using the Report Editor. This can be done by executing Edit Report Template action of a report context.

Reports are compiled, filled and processed by the JasperReports engine. You can refer to Jasper Reports documentation for more information on template structure, available elements and their properties.
