Hi

 

i am trying to add indexes to my output, for example page 1-8 underage females page 9-12 underage males etc...is there a way to do it in iReport

The classification must be contained within the results of your datasource.  That means that you need a field in each record that describes the category that each competitor is in. For example:

Name    Category    Result1    Result2

John    Boys U12    10:23.2    10:56.5

Jill    Girls U9    13:23.4    14:27.6 

 

In iReport you can then design your report to make use of the categorisation by adding a group for the Category field.  There are various formatting options that will help to format the output as you need it, like forcing a new page when the category changes.
