Change the Report Options window appearance

[prashant2228]

In a JasperReport when "Report Options" icon (in the leftmost corner) is clicked, it shows a parameter form with a vertical list of paramters and their values. The following code snippet in "ViewReportControlsDialog.jsp" is responsible for this.
<js:parametersForm reportName="${requestScope.reportUnit}" renderJsp="${requestScope.controlsDisplayForm}" onInputChange="resetReportOptionsSelect()"/>

I want to change the appearance of this parameter list. Instead of vertical, need to make it horizonatal list.

Is it easily possible ?

Sure. You can change the default one: WEB-INF/jsp/DefaultParametersForm.jsp to get the change everywhere.

 

Or your can create a custom JSP and set the parameter form on individual report units.

 

Do you know you can get the parameters displaying horizontally above a report by setting the "Controls Layout" on a report unit?

Thanks Sheman, that really helped. I modified the jsp to suit us.

Note to self: Whenever encountring a <js:xxx> tag, check jasperserver.tld to find the custom tag and then dig into the mapped java class to find what the tag means.
