Saving Reports

Save often so your layout, query, and parameters are written to the project folder.

Goal

Save the current report, or save a copy under a new name/location.

Prerequisites

• A report is open

Steps

Save

1. Choose File → Save.
2. If the report has never been saved, choose a folder and name when prompted.
3. Report Studio writes project.json and generates report artifacts (including JRXML) for the project.

2. Pick a new folder or name.
3. Confirm. Continue working in the new location.

Result

Your changes are stored on disk. Compile and Preview use the saved project model.

Tips

Tip

After major layout changes, save before Preview so the PDF reflects the latest design.

Note

Do not hand-edit generated .jrxml or .jasper files inside the project folder. Edit in Report Studio and save again.
