Hi everyone, I've been working on getting reports to work with my instance of collectionspace (I have 4.3, on ubuntu). I was following this set of instructions/videos to setup JasperSoft Studio with Collectionspace postgres tables. https://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/DOC/Connecting+Jaspersoft+Studio+to+CollectionSpace https://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/DOC/Creating+and+Running+a+CollectionSpace+Report+in+Jaspersoft+Studio I was successful in being able to connect to the postgresql data from my CS instance, and I was able to create a sample pdf report that simply displays all of the users. However the instructions stop there, as the next set talks about running reports within collectionspace, but I was wondering how do I use my jrxml file I created for my report to be shown on that "Run Report" dropdown menu on Collectionspace. The only other thing I saw was this article https://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/collectionspace/Release+3.2.1#Release3.2.1-AutomaticupdatingofreportsusingnewJasperReportsversions%28CSPACE4876 This was back when 3.2.1 was released, but what I saw was about automatic updating of reports. It said all you needed was to copy the .jrxml source file to %CSPACE_JEESERVER_HOME\cspace\reports, and that they will automatically be compiled on the fly. I'm a bit confused on this. I haven't tried copying yet, but if I copy my jrxml file there, and restart CS, will it be run? How then would I specify if I only want this report to be run for like loan in or loan out types (for example)? Basically just was wondering on some instructions to get my jrxml file i made in Studio to appear on Collectionspace. Thank you, Peter

Hi Peter, Take a look at the "Preparing reports for running from within CollectionSpace" section of this page: https://wiki.collectionspace.org/display/DOC/How+to+add+and+run+reports I hope this helps, Brian On 4/6/16, 8:43 PM, "Talk on behalf of Peter Tucker" <talk-bounces@lists.collectionspace.org on behalf of peter.tucker@granitehorizon.com> wrote: >Hi everyone, > >I've been working on getting reports to work with my instance of >collectionspace (I have 4.3, on ubuntu).
