### Creating a report

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

If you do not have JReport Live, please contact your Jinfonet Software account manager to obtain a license first in order to use this feature.

To create a report:

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

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

2. Specify the title of the report 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.
4. Click OK to create the report.
   - If Blank Report is selected as the layout, a report 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.
   - If you select the layout as Standard Banded Report, Table Report, Chart Report, or Crosstab Report, the corresponding report wizard will then be displayed. Specify the settings according to your requirements.

Notes:

- Before you can create a report in JReport Web, you need to first make sure that the catalog corresponding to the current report set contains one or more business/report cubes and that the Pop-up Blocker is not enabled on your web browser.
- On the JReport Console > Reports page, you can also directly create a new report set (containing a report) 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 report set from the Catalog drop-down list.
  2. Click Ad Hoc Report on the task bar of the Reports page.
  3. In the New Report Set dialog, create the report set containing a report as required.
