Saving Input Control Values¶

You can save your selected input control values to use at another time to have the original report and a copy of it. The JasperReports Server saves a version of the report with the selected values as a child of the original report. This new version of the report appears as a child of the original report in the repository, as shown in Figure 1. Click next to the original report in the repository to see all versions of it.

Your saved input control values also appear in a dropdown list when you open the input controls dialog.
