The Report Wizard

Report Wizard allows you to quickly create a basic design of the report.  JReport prompts you to define what tables, fields, summaries, and other options are used in a very rough report design.  In this way Report Wizard saves you time in the basic organization and layout of data from the database.

• Data tab: This feature allows you to place your tables into the Working Set so that you can access them in your report.
  
• Query Tab: The Query tab shows how multiple tables selected in the Data tab are linked.  This section also allows you to specify certain criteria for the fields in the report.

• Cross Tab: This form summarizes data and presents the summaries in a compact row and column format.
  
• Display Tab: This feature allows you to specifically define which fields you want to see in your report.
  
• Drill Tab: The Drill tab allows you to "hide" specific sections so that your report can display short summaries, rather than pages of data.
  
• Form Letter Tab: This feature allows you to place text and fields together in a text box so that you can create a specific form for a document or a letter.
  
• Chart Tab: This feature allows you to add and create graphs in your report.
  
• Group/Sort Tab: Records in a report are usually organized into groups based on certain criteria.  With the Group tab you can enter the criteria to define multi-level groups.  The Sort tab allows you to organize the information within the group by sorting records within the section.
  
• Label Tab: This function allows you to create and edit labels from your report.
  
• Styles Tab: This feature allows you to define the layout and style of your report.
  
• SubReport Tab: The SubReport lets you merge two reports into one.
  
• Summary Tab: The Summary tab allows you to generate a count, average, sum, standard deviation and other aggregate functions for your data.
