Printing with jasper soft ireport version 5.1 - Part 2

In part i had shown you how to install and make database connection with local database.

Now, i'll show you how to actually work with this tool.

Run Jasper and click on file from menu bar click on new that will open up a below screen.



Select which ever report want to create and click Launch Report Wizard in my case i have created Blank A4. Give your report a name and location where you want to store it click next.



Now you need to write your query or you can load your query if you have saved on local machine.
Make sure you have chosen a correct data source else it will give an error.Report will be created now.

You can check in Report Inspector(left Side) your fields will be appeared.(Columns of query you have selected at creation of report).

(If you can not see Report Inspector then click on Windows from Menu bar and at bottom you will see reset windows click on it restart your tool)

It will look something like below.



Click on Windows from menu bar click on palette where by you can select report elements to use in page.
