Fields

In a report, there are three groups of objects that can store values:

Fields
Parameters
Variables

Jaspersoft Studio uses these objects in data source queries. In order to use these objects in a report, they must be declared with a discrete type that corresponds to a Java class, such as String or Double. After they have been declared in a report design, the objects can be modified or updated during the report generation process.
