Specifies the options applied to the report. See the tab.
Web Page Name
Specifies the name of the exported file. If you do not type the name, JReport will use the report name as the default HTML file name. JReport automatically attaches the extension *.html, so you do not have to type the extension yourself.
Web Browser
Specifies the web browser for which the HTML result adapts.
Text Overflow

No Margin
Specifies whether to remove the margins originally set when the report was designed.

TOC
Specifies whether to enable the TOC (Table of Contents) in the exported HTML file.
Multiple Files
If checked, the report result will be generated into multiple HTML files, and JReport will designate a serial number for each HTML page. For example, if you named a 3-page report as "sales", JReport will create three files called sales_1.html, sales_2.html, and sales_3.html.
Single File
If checked, the report result will be generated in a single HTML file.
Section 508 Compliant Output
If checked, the accessibility attributes defined for the report elements via the Report Inspector will be exported to the HTML result which is Section 508 compliant. See Accessibility for more information.
When Section 508 Compliant Output is checked, the Use HTML Data Table and Relative Font Size options will be checked and disabled. The output will be Section 508 compliant including HTML data table, accessible attributes, and relative font feature.
Use HTML Data Table
Specifies whether the table and crosstab components will be output as table objects in the HTML result.
Absolute Font Size
Specifies whether to generate the report result using an absolute font size, which means the font size is fixed and cannot be adjusted according to the font size settings in the web browser.
Relative Font Size
Specifies whether to generate the report result using a relative font size, which means the font size can be adjusted according to the font size settings in the web browser.
Run Linked Report
If the report is linked with other reports, you can check whether or not to generate the linked reports in the exported HTML file. If you are only interested in the primary report, leave this option unchecked. Generating linked reports at the same time, especially when the linked reports contain a large amount of data, will cause performance issue.

Directory
Specifies the destination directory where you want to place the exported HTML file.
