- Right-click the IMSMA Control Centre icon that is displayed in the lower, right corner of your Windows’ desktop.
- Select the Start IReport option.
Configuration
 |
The required configuration is usually set during the installation process and you do not need to change anything. However, two basic configuration options are mentioned here, for information and in case the configuration seems incomplete on your IMSMANG installation. If at all, these steps will only need to be completed once. |

This configuration is set by default. |
As reports are generated, iReport creates several files which it uses to produce the report results. To set the compilation directory:
- From the Tools menu, select Options.

- Check the Use Report Directory to Compile checkbox.
- Click the OK button.
- The iReport – Options window closes.

The IMSMANG data sources are automatically imported into iReport during the installation process. |
