==Formatting iReport Elements==__NOEDITSECTION__
iReport Designer allows you to apply specific formatting to individual elements on an iReport template. Many of these elements can be edited graphically using [[#Formatting Tools|Formatting Tools]].
# Select the desired field or variable displayed in the iReport template ('''note:''' this is '''NOT''' the field or variable value itself in the '''iReport Designer''', but rather the text element on the report displaying the field value)
#: [[Image:IReport Display Properties.png|center|300px|''Display Properties'']]<div align="center">''Display Properties''</div>
# Select the desired field or variable displayed in the iReport template ('''note:''' this is '''NOT''' the field or variable value itself in the '''iReport Designer''', but rather the text element on the report displaying the field or variable value).
#: [[Image:IReport Display Properties.png|center|300px|''Display Properties'']]<div align="center">''Display Properties''</div>
# On the '''Properties''' pane select the '''Text Field Expression''' and open the '''Text Field Expression Editor''''.#: [[Image:IReport Charts5.png|center|500px|''Text Field Expression Editor'']]<div align="center">''Text Field Expression Editor''</div>
# To change the way a particular field is displayed you can use basic "ïf-then-else" logic as in other [[Summarize i-Report Template Data#Variable Expressions|Variable Expressions]]. This follows the pattern:
$F{field} == null ? “Something" : $F{field}
