conditions in report.. is it possible?

[xVik]

i need two modifications of report: with total field in the summary and without

 

i don't think it is good idea to prepare two report templates (wich will differ in only one field), but i cant find any conditions for reports in documentation

 

is it possible to set a condition to show/hide some block of report?

 

----

for example in jsp i will do

<c:if test=${showTotal}>

Total: ${total}

</c:if>

maybe this will help to clearify what i mean

I am no expert but you could try the following

 

create both item/widgets in the report and place them where they are to appear.

 

Use print when expression on each of these widgets. enter an expression that return true when you want to display the widgets and false when you dont want them.

 

this should solve the issue.

You can also set the textfield value property with a condition like this :

Code:

(condition ? if true : if false)
eg:
(test==$F{showTOTAL} ? "Total: " + $F{total} : ""«»)

this is for simple cases and i need to hide complete "widgets"

 

but anyway, thanks for advise.. i will remember ;)
