iReport templates provide the foundation on which IMSMA reports are based. A iReport template defines:

  • the data source (e.g. Land, Activity, Accident)
  • the attributes that should be displayed on the report (e.g. Land ID, Land Name and Areasize for a land report)
  • the overall appearance of the report (title, formatting, etc.)

How to create and edit iReport templates with the iReport tool may be found here.

The Report Template Manager allows adding, changing and deleting iReport template definitions. To access the Report Template Manager, choose Customisation > Report Template Manager.

This opens the Report Template Manager.
