IReport with a big title - jasper-reports

I have a report with a big title, so this report will have 2 pages with start text, and a small detail page.
How can I create a report with a big title, or 2 different reports to append on to another?
Any Ideia?
My version of iReport is 0.5.

I had a similar problem. I solved it by creating a sub report and using it's Detail section as the report's title page. I then put the sub report into a group header on the main report which would print first on the report. It was a little hokey, but it worked.

Pass values from sub-report to main-report using crystal report

I'm using crystal report xi. I have made a report with two sub report. The sub reports have summary fields named sub total. And i want to make make grand total. How it is possible?

I may not be able to answer specifically to your requirement: But following are links that show you how to achieve it. You will have to work your way. The idea is to use Shared variables between main report and subreports.
Hope it helps you.

Passing Subreport Value to Main Report

How to make detail band height fixed in Jasper Report?

I have two reports. One is used as sub report of other.
Sub-Report is placed in the detail band of main report.
I need to display a message at the end of the last page. For this message, I am using Last Page Footer.
But the problem is, I need to display the data in Tabular Form. Data coming from Sub report is dynamic, Because of this detail band height grows dynamically and I can not get the table lines aligned properly up to the last page footer.
Can anyone guide me a solution ?
Maybe I'm not getting your point, but if you need something as close as possibile to your last tabular data (not neccesarly at the end of the last page), why don't you use the Summary band instead of the LastPageFooter?
I hope to show you what I mean with this pic:
Is this what you would like to get?
If so, just use the Summary Band in the main report after your detail band

Crystal Reports: How can a not on-demand subreport be displayed as a link in the main report

I am struggling to fix a subreport where data is obtained at the point when the main report is generated and the subreport to be displayed as a link, similar to an on demand subreport.
The issue that I have if I use a non on demand subreport is that it cannot be represented as a link, it is displayed inside the main report. As well as an on demand report is not suitable to my case because the data is retrieved when the subreport is opened.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance!
You have to take the another header for subreport and also drilldown the Header and on the Suppress formula write the formula Drilldowngrouplevel = 0 and for the Sub Report take the another detail section and on the supress formula write the formula Drilldowngrouplevel = 0.
This will definitely work, because I tried it.
Can you add a group level to the subreport and add a single line into the group header?
This will mean you will have to drill down twice to get the data though.

crystal report, subreport details section not displaying the next batch of records

I put a subreport in the footer of my main report and I set its details section to display five records per page (through the paging tab).
I am sure my query returns nine records.
Upon previewing the report, on the first page, it displays the first five records.
However, on the second page, it also displays the first five records not the remaining four records.
I am not sure where is the problem since I just started using crystal reports. Hope you can help me. Thanks.
You need to set your sub report links.
This will link the data from your main report to your sub report. In Crystal 2008 you right click on the sub report and choose 'Change Sub report links...' option. Then you can select the data to flow from the main report to your sub report. Otherwise your sub report is being viewed as a completely separate report that you are just inserting on top of your main report and it will be the same at every instance.
Also, it might be a good idea to use groups instead of the details section when inserting sub reports.

Using subreport in crystal reports 8.5, How can we stop overlapping it with the end of the main report?

I've created a new report using crystal reports 8.5.
In it, I've used 3 sub reports and they are positioned in main report vertically.
My question is, How can I stop overlapping them with each other and also with the down border of the main report?
thank you
If you split the section they're in into 3 sections (eg, Report Header can divide into Report Header a, Report Header b and Report Header c), and place one subreport in each, the sections will expand to fit their contents in and the subreports should no longer overlap.
One solution that I found is to do following:
Right click on the details page and choose "Section Expert..."
In the opened dialog box Sections column click on
the Details(preferred) or other section and click on Insert button above.
In the newly inserted section add your new sub report.
Thanks
