Using Repository Resources

This documentation is an older version of JasperReports Server User Guide. View the latest documentation.

After finding a resource in the repository, naturally you want to do something with it. Options are:

•

Click the name of a report to run and view it.

•

Right-click the name of a resource to access other operations on the context menu, for example Edit or Open in Designer. Items appear on the context menu according to your permissions.

•

Click anywhere in the row except the resource name to select a resource. Ctrl-click anywhere in the rows to select multiple resources. Use the context menu or buttons above the results list: Run, Edit, Open, Copy, Cut (move), or Delete. If the button is unavailable, the resource doesn’t support the operation or you don’t have permission for the operation. For example, the Open button is available when you select a dashboard or an Ad Hoc report if you have permission to write to it.

You might also need permission to access the folder or dependent file, such as an image, of a resource. For example, to schedule a report, you need to have read/write/delete permission on the folder where server saves the report output. For more information about permissions, see the JasperReports Server Administrator Guide.
