Many reports in one file

[wyborowiec]

Hello

I would like to know if it's possible in JODReports to have template
ODT file and generate more than one report based on the template into
one file. I want to generate many reports but have only one resulting
ODT file to contain all of them. Printing of such report set would
more comfortable than printing many separate files.

I'll be grateful for help

Hi.

I'm not sure if I understand you right. Generally you can create a template with conditionals, so that one template fits for multiple reports. Nevertheless it might be better to separate your concerns.
If you primary want to have one PDF as a result you can concatenate PDFs. I'm not sure if JOD offer this out of the box. But there are libs that can do this.

Yes. Use a list of input data items, one per report. Iterate over these items using #list and generate the report content. Pay attention to page breaks to cleanly separate the individual reports.

Printing multiple PDF files might be as easy as

$> lpr -P yourprinter *.PDF

Depending on your OS, the actual print client and its command line syntax might differ, but some easy way of automating printing of multiple files should exist.

Thank you for your answers. Having a resulting reports set in one file
is a requirement here. It also has to be in ODT format finally, so
PDFs merging is not an option here. Ansgar's proposition looks
interesting, I'll look into it.

I did many reports in file but i cannot make page breaks between them.

I did this as a list in a table row.

You could try 

a) Insert -> Manual Break

b) Format -> Paragraph -> Text Flow -> Breaks -- see https://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Text_Flow#Breaks
