bob_8 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I would like to put a bunch of summary graphics on the FIRST page of the report, before dumping of the details. So, for example, let's say I have a bunch of sales figures for a product over a month. On the first page of the report I want to show a couple of graphics (max units by store, max $ by store, that sort of thing), then force a page break, and print the detail report.Right now I do this using two reports and merging them. That gets messy and it would be far easier (particularly in terms of making changes) if I could do all this in one report.If you know a clever trick to do this, I would very much appreciate a note.Thanks!Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernestoo Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 maybe i'm missing something here...why not use the title band? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth_fader Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 You have many options, but i'd recommend using jaspers <break type="page"> tag, either in the title band or subreport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_8 Posted September 17, 2014 Author Share Posted September 17, 2014 Thank you emestoo. This turned out to be a great suggestion. I had actully tried this about 14 months ago but I'd get weird printouts from one of our older printers that, unfortunately, is deployed everywhere. After reading your note, I tried running the old report and this time everything seems to be working. I can only guess that something was fixed in Jasper Server since we try to keep up with updates.Anyway... THANK YOU for your great suggestion.Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
