Where are iReport’s report Templates?
This article supersedes my article from a year ago about finding templates in iReport. I’m leaving the old article up because it’s useful if you’re still using iReport 3.1. But unless there is some odd but compelling reason to stick with the old version, you should really upgrade to iReport 3.7. iReport uses report templates to enable a designer to develop new reports quickly. iReport ships with many prebuilt templates, and you’re free to add more templates yourself. Your self-built templates will include appropriate fonts, color schemes, logos, etc. There are eight distinct templates that ship with iReport 3.7. (Technically there are eighteen templates… but that counts portrait and landscape versions of essentially the same thing as different templates.) Let’s look at what the default templates give you.
