BIRT Report Examples Using Sub Reports Within BIRT
Introduction      Demonstration      Reports

Introduction

Sub reports are a very common type of reports. These are also referred to as Master Detail reports or Parent Child reports. BIRT is a flexible tool in that it provides the report developer with the flexibility to design many reports and integrate them in sub report fashion via a few clicks of the mouse. This example demonstrates the use of BIRT to create reports that are linked together. For example, a main customer listing report provides the customer ID as input to a sub report that displays details about each customer. In this example, a customer purchase report list the totals for all customer IDs. A second report list customer details. This example combines these two reports.
