Creating a report tab

In Page Report Studio, you can create a new report tab based on a predefined business/report cube to the current page report. You can also create a new page report containing one report tab and then add report tabs to it. However, the reports created on business/report cubes in Page Report Studio cannot be edited in JReport Designer any further.

To create a report tab:

1. In a Page Report Studio window, click Menu > File > New Page Report Tab (or the button on the Standard toolbar) to display the New Report Tab dialog. See the dialog.

   

   If you click Menu > File > New Page Report, the New Page Report dialog will appear for you to create a page report with the first report tab in it.

2. Specify the title of the report tab as required in the Report Title text box.
3. In the Choose Report Layout box, select the required layout with which you want to create the report tab.
4. Click OK to create the report tab.
   • If Blank is selected as the layout, a report tab which is blank will be created. You can then use the Toolbox and the Resource View panels to add objects and cube elements to the report tab.
   • If you select the layout as Banded, Table, Chart, or Crosstab, the corresponding report wizard will then be displayed. Specify the settings according to your requirements.

Also, on the JReport Console > Resources page, you can directly create a new page report (containing a report tab) in a folder into which one or more catalogs containing some business/report cubes have been published. To do this:

1. Open the folder and select the catalog for the new page report from the Catalog drop-down list.
2. On the task bar of the Resources page, click New > Report.
3. In the Select Report Type dialog, check the option Page Report and click Ok.
4. In the New Page Report dialog, create the page report containing a report tab as required.
