Running report sets in Advanced mode

Apart from simply running a specified report set to view it in the default format, JReport Enterprise Server also supports viewing a specified report set in other formats, and saving the report set result version according to your requirements.

To run a report set in Advanced mode:

1. On the JReport Console > Reports page, browse to the report set you want to run in Advanced mode.
2. Do either of the following:
   • Select the row the report set is in, then click Run > Advanced Run on the task bar of the Reports page.
   • Select the report set row, right-click in the row and select Advanced Run from the shortcut menu.

   The Advanced Run dialog is then displayed.

3. In the General tab, select the report in the report set you want to run (only one report in a report set can be run in Advanced mode at a time). If the report has parameters, specify the parameter values as required (for details, see General tab - Parameters). Then, specify the other options as required.
4. In the Format tab, choose a format to view the report result, and set the other settings.

   Note: When you run a report in Advanced mode in HTML format, the names of page navigation links in the report, such as First, Previous, Next, and Last, can be localized according to your requirements. For details, refer to Localizing the page navigation links in HTML report outputs.

5. In the Archive tab, archive the report set result version according to your requirements.
6. If you want to limit the amount of time that the report is allowed to run, in the Duration tab, specify a time duration for the task, and ask JReport Enterprise Server to cancel the task or to notify you or someone else of the task status via e-mail if the task has not yet finished running when the task duration is up. For detailed information, see Task-level timeout for advanced run and schedule tasks.

   Note: By default, the Duration tab is not displayed in the Advanced Run dialog. To make it available, the Enable Task Duration option in the Advanced tab of the JReport Administration > Configuration page must be checked.

7. Click Finish to view the report in the format you specified.

See also Advanced Run dialog for details about options in the dialog.
