The main report should be created with the IMSMA item determined to be the primary data of your report. The main report is just a basic report and can be created using the steps provided in the [[Create a Basic i-Report iReport Template]] section.

# In the '''Properties''' pane, enter a parameter name (e.g. ItemGUID} and edit any other properties. Normally it is not required to edit anything other than the name, you might however want to deselect the '''Use as a prompt''' option.

The next step is to create a report query for the subreport you just created in Step 3 2 to define how the IMSMA item on the main report is related to the IMSMA item on the subreport. Typically the subreport Report Query report query will receive the guid from the main report via the parameter created in Step 4 3 and then use it to limit items in the subreport to those linked to the main report. Below is the instructions on how to define the Report Queryreport query:

# Open the [[Modify an iReport Template#Using Report Query filters|Report Query report query window]].# From the Report report query window, select '''ImsmaQuery''' from the Query query language list.# Enter a Report Query report query filter using the parameter defined above to limit the objects according to the main report object. The most common Report Query report query filter would be to filter to only linked objects. For example '''''links.toGuid="$P{ItemGUID}"'''''. In this step, the Report Query tells the subreport to return only rows that are linked to the guid of the the item in the main report via the link table. Other combinations of Report Query report query filters can be used on subreports beyond the link table. These are documented in the [[#Example Subreport Relationships|Possible Subreport Relationships]] section below.# Click '''OK'''. The Report report query window closes.

====Step 5 – Add Link the Subreport Parameter to the Main Report====__NOEDITSECTION__We created a parameter on Now that both the main and the subreport to connect to are ready, the main report in Step 3, now we need only thing that remains to create a parameter on be done is linking the main report as welltwo together. Below is are the instructions to create link the parameter you need for the Main reporttwo reports:# Make sure you are at the Main main report by selecting the name of the main report from the tabs at the top of the iReport Designer canvas pane.

# '''Add''' a parameter and give it a type '''exactly the name of the subreport parameter created in step 3''' (e.g. ''ItemGUID'')

In addition to the Location relationship, the main items in {{IMSMANG}} can also be linked with one another during the reconciliation process. This is how, for example, Activities are linked with Land in the {{IMSMANG}} database. Accidents, land, activities, educations, assistances, QMs, and victims may be related to one another via ''links''. For example, a victim may be associated to an accident in a particular land. If these relationships are known, IMSMA users may define these links while reconciling the Data Entry Form. This special relationship can also be modeled in iReport using a report and subreport (s).

*Step 2: Create a GeospatialInfo subreport on the main report, i.e. a report using the GeospatialInfo datasource*Step 3: Create a Geopoint subreport on the GeospatialInfo report, i.e. a report using the Geopoint datasource

This has the effect of limiting the Geospatial records to only those records whose guid is linked to the geospatialinfo of the main report. This is an example of nested reports, i.e. a main report, a subreport, and a sub-subreport.
