Create sub-reports in JasperStudio using JRXML, setting zero margins for a page-section look.

Creating Sub-Reports Using JRXML Source in JasperStudio:

The JRXML source of a Jasper file is used for creating a sub-report in Jasperstudio; sub-report margins are typically set to zero because they are intended to be a section of a page rather than a whole document. The sub-reports horizontal dimension should be the same size as the element in the parent report.

There are three steps to creating and adding a sub-report:

  • Create a report: Create a parent or master report that will contain the sub-report.
  • Create a sub-report: Create and compile a sub-report. Optionally create a dynamic connection to filter the records of the sub-report based on the parent's data.
  • Add the sub-report to the parent report: Insert a sub-report element and specify the following:
    1. The data adapter or data source for the sub-report.
    2. The location of the sub-reports compiled Jasper file.
    3. An optional parameters map (it can be empty) to set the report parameters used in the dynamic connection.
