How to setup a custom template
Step one - Download and install the free program iReport - http://jasperforge.org/projects/ireport.
Step two - Download one of VetView's Built-In Labels (or letters) by clicking on the Download link beside the name. The downloaded file will be an uncompiled jrXML report file.
Step three - Open the downloaded jrXML file inside of iReport and make the desired modifications.
Step four - Compile, name, and save the new jrXML file inside iReport so it becomes a .jasper file.
Step five - Go back to the Label/Report Setup tab and click on the Upload Template button. Choose the newly created file. If set as the default, the new file will be printed in the appropriate sections of VetView.
| Note |
|---|
You can delete customized/uploaded labels, but can never delete the Built-In Labels/Letters. |
| Tip |
|---|
Remember, although you are downloading uncompiled jrXML files from this screen, you have to upload compiled .jasper files for the system to be able to use them |
