Working with Domains
|  | This section describes functionality that can be restricted by the software license for JasperReports Server. If you don’t see some of the options described in this section, your license may prohibit you from using them. To find out what you're licensed to use, or to upgrade your license, contact Jaspersoft. |
You can create reports based on Domains that are defined in JasperReports Server. Such reports use data adapters to load data stored in the Domains, which can then populate your report. To create a Domain-based report, create a data adapter and design a report with its data. Before you create these objects, you need a connection to a server. For more information, see Connecting to JasperReports Server.
To create a Domain-based report:
| 1. | Click File > New > JasperReport. |
The New Report Wizard appears.
| 2. | Select a template and click Next. |

You are prompted to select a data adapter.
| 4. | Select Domain JRS - Query Executor adapter. |
You are prompted to select a server and Domain.
| 5. | Select a server connection. |
You are prompted that changing the server resets the query. Since this is a new report, there's no query yet, so nothing will be reset.
The Domain drop-down is populated with a list of Domains defined on the server.
| 7. | Click the Domain containing the data for your report. |
You are prompted that changing the Domain resets the query. Since this is a new report, there's no query yet, so nothing will be reset.
