How Do I Insert SubReports in a Main Report

KSReynolds

<p>I am new to Jasper AND Birt.  I have a Jasper report that I am trying to re-create in Birt, and in the Jasper report in the TITLE there is a sub-report.  I have gone to Report Design, Palette, but do not see an option for putting a subreport in my title.  Thank you.</p>

<p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">This tutorial shows you how to create subreports (or nested tables) in BIRT:</span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Also, there is a DevShare, illustrating this technique:</span></span></p>

<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">To summarize the steps:</span></span></p>
<ol><li><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Create the main query</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Create the sub-query with a parameter (each row from main query will populate this parameter)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Create the main table</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Drag the sub-query Data Set into the Detail row of the main table</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Link the sub-table (or nested table) Data Set's parameter to the main row detail by changing the binding of the parameter</span></span></li>
