What We Changed:


iReport Comments

Use the “Expression Editor” view Save a backup of your file BEFORE making

any changes, no matter how minor! Compile the expression each time you edit it

in order to avoid syntax errors You may need to make slight adjustments to

the position of the label per printer, as alignment can be slightly different.
