Previewing a Library Component

To preview a library component when designing it at any time, just click the View tab, which then causes the JReport Engine to run the library component.

When previewing a library component, by default only the result of the data component in the library component is displayed. The other parts like the configuration panel cannot be previewed. If you want to preview the effect when the library component is published to JReport Server and inserted into a dashboard, check the As Dashboard Component checkbox on the top-right corner of the View tab, then the title bar of the library component will be shown and you can click on the title bar to display the configuration panel of the library component and preview the objects in it.

Moreover, when previewing a library component,

• If it contains parameters, you will be prompted to specify values for the parameters in the Enter Parameter Values dialog.
• If it is developed with National Language Support, you can specify the language in which you want the library component to display by selecting the language from the Language drop-down menu on the Home or View tab.
