Alternatively, you can create a new report template using the Wizard and add the desired fields to the new report. Fields can then be copied and pasted from the new report to the original report.
# Create a new report using the [[Create a Basic i-Report iReport Template|iReport Wizard]] and the same data source
# Select the desired fields and finish the report
# Using the Report Inspector, navigate to the desired fields
iReport Designer provides an option for limiting or filtering the results of the query that returns data to the report. While in most cases this Report Query filter is ignored by {{IMSMANG}} once the report has been imported in favor of the search criteria, there are some cases where it is important to edit the Report Query filters in iReport. The two main reasons are:
* '''temporarily''': to limit the results returned when previewing the report during the design phase in iReport
* '''permanently''': for use in [[Create i-Report iReport Templates with Subreports|Subreports]] to restrict the data returned to those that have a relationship with the main report. For example to only return Activities that are associated with the Land in the main report.
Both approaches use the same steps.
All iReport data sources have access to a special field called the SQL field to access hard to reach data. This field allows report designers to insert and execute a SQL query to access data from within an iReport template. It's usage requires a knowledge of SQL and the IMSMA database structure and is only recommended for IMSMA administrators with a strong information management background. In all data sources, this special field is called '''SQLField'''.
These fields can be added during the [[Create a Basic i-Report iReport Template|iReport Wizard]] process or manually added later.
To use the SQL field to select data from the IMSMA database:
As with other areas in iReport, the ''links.toGuid'' field is case sensitive and must be referenced exactly.
Further information about this can be found on the [[Create i-Report iReport Templates with Subreports|Subreport instruction pages]].
