## Creating a report set

To create a report set, follow the steps below:

1. Start JReport Designer.
2. Click File > New > Report Set on the menu bar (or the New Report Set button on the Standard toolbar).
3. In the New Report Set dialog, select the layout of the first report in the report set.

   Since a report set cannot be empty, you will also need to create a report in it when creating the report set. See Creating a report for details about how to create the first report in a report set.

4. Click OK to create the report set.

Tip: If you choose to display the Welcome window at startup, you can click the Report Set link from the Create New category in this window to access the New Report Set dialog.
