Edit the values according to your requirement. You may specify parameter values in these ways.
If you have not yet set the default values on the server, or if you did but your saved default values cannot fully match the current parameters, all the parameters will use their default values specified in the parameters' definition as the initial values.
If no parameter is used in the report, "No Parameter Needed" will be displayed here.
Use Saved Values
If it is available, you can select the previously saved parameter values to apply to the report and save parameter values for reuse later.

Generate charts and barcodes using images (recommended)
When you run a report in PDF format, JReport will take the result of the whole report as a graphic to transform the report by the method of simulated printer and generate the report result in PDF format.
Generate charts and barcodes using vector graphics
The result of using Generate charts and barcodes using vector graphics is the same as with using Generate charts and barcodes using images (recommended). However, when you run a report in PDF format using Generate charts and barcodes using vector graphics, JReport will take the result of the whole report as a dataset to transform the report by sequence and to generate the report result in PDF format.

Run Linked Report
If the report is linked with other reports, you can check whether or not to generate the linked reports (not including the detail reports) in the Applet result. If you are only interested in the primary report, leave this option unchecked. Generating linked reports at the same time, especially when the linked reports contain a large amount of data, will cause performance issue.
Notes:
D:\folder\filename.pdf in case you may not find the result. By default when running a report via Applet on Internet Explorer, the generated result will be located on the Desktop, and when on Firefox, it will be in its installation root.
If you do not have read or write permission to the default location or the location you specified, you will get an access denied error. To handle this, add the required permission in jdk\jre\lib\security\java.policy that the applet uses:
For the default location "Desktop":
permission java.util.PropertyPermission "user.dir", "read";
permission java.io.FilePermission "${user.home}${/}Desktop${/}*", "read,write";
For user defined location:
permission java.io.FilePermission "D:${/}temp${/}*", "read,write";
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission Open read)
To resolve this, add the required permission in java.policy that the applet uses:
permission java.io.FilePermission "Open", "read,write";
