Saving the report
To save the changes you made to the current report, click Menu > File > Save (or the Save button on the Standard toolbar).
If the report is newly created and has not yet been saved, the Save As dialog appears. See the dialog.
- In the Save in section, browse to the folder where you want to save the web report in the server resource tree. The folder may be Public Reports or My Reports. You can use the button to return to the parent folder.
The resource table shows the resources in the current directory. Click the column names to change the order of the report in the table list if required.
- In the File Name box, enter the name of the report or use the default name. The default file type is web report.
- Click the Advanced button to set the advanced settings for the report if required.
- From the Status drop-down list, specify a status for the report.
- The catalog that the report uses is shown.
Specify the relationship between the saved report and the catalog used to run it:
- Set Original Catalog as Linked Catalog into Saved Report
If checked, the saved report will be linked with the catalog and will run with the catalog no matter whether the two are in the same directory. If later the catalog is updated, the saved report will run with the latest version of the catalog.
- Set Catalog Copy to Target Folder
If checked, the catalog will be copied to the directory where the report is saved and the saved report will run with the copied catalog.
- Optionally, input comments in the Description box as a description for the report.
- Click Save to save the report.
To save a copy of a report, click Menu > File > Save As (or the Save As button on the Standard toolbar) to show the Save As dialog, and then do as above.
To find a newly saved web report version, browse to select the row that the web report is in on the JReport Console > Resources page, click Tools > Version on the task bar, and then click the Web Report Versions tab.
Note: You will not be able to save the report to some locations if you do not have the required permissions. You need to have Write access to the directory.
