A single XML file may be configured as one or more data sources. To configure
an existing XML file as a data source, do the following:
- Click on the Datasource selection in the navigator
on the left.
- Select Configure an existing XML File (or just
click a file in the list).
- Click on a file in the list, then click the Configure button.
- In the Configure a new Data Source panel, do the
following:
- Datasource Name: type a name for the data source.
- Select elements from the XML file to use as data in the data source. Select
an element, then click > to move it to the table on
the right.
- Configure data fields in the data source. For each row, enter a name for
each Column and select its data Type (Integer,
Date, Double, or String).
- Click Done.
The data source is saved. You can access it to create a report in the Quick
Report Wizard at the Fields step. When
you choose a report type, it appears in the list under the Custom heading.
Standard reports appear first in the list, under the Build Forge heading.
