Save As

This dialog helps you to save a report as a new file or as a new version.

Save In

Specifies the directory in the server resource tree where you want to save the report. Use the button to go to the parent folder. The root folder cannot be used to store resources.

The resource table shows the resources in the current directory. Click the column names to change the order of the report in the table list if required.

• Name
  Displays the file names.
• Size
  Displays the file size.
• Type
  Displays the file type.
• Last Modified
  Displays the last modified time of the file.

File Name

Specifies the name for the saved report, without suffix.

File Type

Specifies the type of the saved report.

By default, page report files contain a .cls suffix. This is the format that provides optimal performance in the JReport toolset. Page report files can also be stored in the following formats:

• Page Report (*.cls)
  Saves the report as a binary formatting file.
• Report Template (.rpt)
  It is a file saved in text format, which can be edited in any text editor.
• Self Contained Page Report (.clx)
  It is a binary report file, which contains not only the report's layout but also the catalog with its own resources.
• Page Report XML Format (.cls.xml)
  It follows the XML standard, which can be edited with both JReport Designer and external XML editors. Page reports that contain customized user defined objects (UDO) cannot be saved to XML format. Using the XML format is better for checking into source code control systems than using the binary formats.

Advanced/Simple

Displays the following settings or hides them.

• Catalog
  Shows the catalog that the report uses.

  The following two options are available only when Select Catalog Linking Model is checked in the Profile > Customize Profile > Page Report Studio > Properties > Advanced tab.

  • Set Original Catalog as Linked Catalog into Saved Report
    If checked, the saved report will be linked with the catalog and the saved report will run with the catalog no matter whether the two are in the same directory. If later the catalog is updated, the saved report will run with the latest version of the catalog.
  • Set Catalog Copy to Target Folder
    If checked, the catalog will be copied to the directory where the report is saved and the saved report will run with the copied catalog.
• Save Sort Criteria
  Specifies whether or not to save the changes made by sorting.
• Save Filter Criteria
  Specifies whether or not to save the changes made by filtering.

• Description
  Provides a description for the saved report.

OK

Saves the report with the specified settings and closes this dialog.

Cancel

Does not save the report as a new file and closes the dialog.

Help
