*'''Data Sources''': Data sources in iReport refer to the connection between the report template and the {{IMSMANG}} database. Each iReport template will have one data source. Data sources in iReport generally refer to items in {{IMSMANG}} such as Land, Activity, Education, Accident, Victim, etc.
*'''Fields''': Fields in iReport refer to individual IMSMA data elements that are available from a data source. Fields are denoted in iReport using the following syntax '''''$F{fieldname}''''' (e.g. '''''$F{guid}'''''). Each data source contains a list of available fields.
*'''Variables''': Variables in iReport are created within the iReport template to manipulate or calculate data. Using variables, users can create calculations such as sums, counts, averages, or other totals. Variables are denoted in iReport using the following syntax '''''$V{variablename}''''' (e.g. '''''$V{SumAreaSize}'''''). Variables can use field and/or parameter data.*'''Parameters''': Parameters in iReport are used to accept and transfer external information, such as information from another report. Parameters are denoted in iReport using the following syntax '''''$P{paramtername}''''' (e.g. '''''$P{ParentGuid}''''')*'''Bands''': Bandsare used in iReport to specify areas on the resulting report. Each band acts differently in a report. The most used bands in iReport are:{| class="wikitable"|-! Band Name !! Use|-| Title || Displayed once at the beginning of the report|-| Column or Group Header || Displayed at the top of each page or section|-| Detail || Displayed once for each data row returned by the report. Most often data elements will exist in this band.*Groups|-*Sums| Summary || Displayed once at the end of the report. Useful for charts, Countscrosstabs, Totalsand totals.|}
*'''Groups''': Groups in iReport are used to display records with one or more common values together on a report. For example, Land with the same value for "Province" could be grouped together in a report. Groups can be added in the iReport Wizard or after a report has been created.
