This procedure describes how to add a report template that contains sub-reports to the AgileAssets application so a JasperReport can be generated. For the purposes of this example, it is assumed that the report template was developed with the JasperReports development tool iReport.

Note: When you create the sub-report template in iReport, use the sub-report template wizard provided in iReport and accept all default settings as you proceed through the wizard. This will allow the sub-report template to be properly configured to work in the AgileAssets system.

Once the report and sub-report templates are defined in iReport, add them to the AgileAssets application by performing the following steps:

  1. In the module of the AgileAssets application to which the report will be added, open the Reports Management window.
  2. In the reports hierarchy in the left pane, locate the folder in which the report will be stored, right-click this folder, and select Insert Jasper Report. The system displays a dialog box so you may select the file that contains the report template.
  3. In the Select File dialog box, click the Browse/Choose File button to display a second dialog box to locate the file name on your computer.
  4. Locate the file for the main report (not the sub-reports) and then double-click the desired file name, which closes the second dialog box and shows the file name in the Select File dialog box.
  5. In the Select File dialog box, click the Upload button. The files for the main report are uploaded to the application server. A new record appears in the Reports tab that shows the main report.
  6. In the reports hierarchy in the left pane, locate the folder in which the report will be stored, right-click this report, and select Edit Jasper Subreports. The system displays a dialog box that shows the sub-reports associated with the Jasper Report.
  7. For the first sub-report listed in the tab, right-click the sub-report and then click Insert/Update Report from the shortcut menu that is displayed. The application displays a dialog box to select the file for the highlighted sub-report.
  8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for the remaining sub-reports listed in the Sub-reports tab.
  9. Right-click the new record and then click the Show Report command corresponding to the desired output to display the newly uploaded report.
  10. Select Save.
