Adding, Modifying and Deleting Resources
You need to create and manage the resources associated with your reports, such as images, JARs, JRXML files, property files for localized reports, input controls, datatypes, lists of values, style templates (JRTX), and data sources. If you’re maintaining existing reports, you may need to modify existing resources. You can also change the location, name, or description of the repository folders.
You can add, modify, or delete repository resources from Jaspersoft Studio. In the Repository panel, expand your JasperReports Server repository and take one of the following actions:
| • | To add a resource, right-click a folder, select New, then select the type of object you want to add. |

If you choose to add a JasperReport, a wizard guides you through the process. For the best results when adding a JasperReport, open the JRXML in Jaspersoft Studio and click ![publish-report-button.png.0535da0a2250c907ee586607bc5acfe1.png](https://community.jaspersoft.com/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png) |
| • | To change the location of a repository resource, drag it to a new location. |
| • | To delete a resource from the repository, right-click it and select Delete. |
| • | To modify a repository resource, right-click it, select Properties, and make your changes in the Properties dialog. On the General tab, you can view the object’s repository ID, name, and description. (Available tabs depend on the selected resource.) |

| • | To change an input control, use the Input Control Resource tab. |
