My apologies if this has already been addressed: Is there some way to swap bands without bad things happening to ireport templates? By this, I mean, right now, I have certain info that's being displayed in the ColumnHeader that I would prefer to be displayed below the first group.

 

Can one swap these things without breaking anything?

 

Thanks!

By iReport not. But you can aopen the source file and swap manually all contents of the tag group.

 

Example

 

<group name="Myfirstgroup" ....>

...

</group>

<group name="MySecondgroup" ....>

...

</group>

 

will be...

 

<group name="MySecondgroup" ....>

...

</group>

<group name="Myfirstgroup" ....>

...

</group>

Giulio,

 

What you suggest above works if I swap groups. I have not been able to make it work if I swap a group and the ColumnHeader. In fact, it doesn't seem to matter where the ColumnHeader is located. The issue I have is that I want a group to describe a major grouping and then have column headings under that. The headings get expanded from the detailLabel.

 

Am I missing something?

Chanda, you can't swap a group with a column header, you can swap a group with another group.

 

A group can be used as column header repeating its print on new pages, take a look at the group properties.
