   This creates a tabular layout. The names of its fields and the names of data sink step properties are identical.

6. Switch to the Available Reports tab.

7. Click to copy the existing Test Case Report report.

   

   Click the image to enlarge it.

8. Click to change the name of the copy.

9. Click the new copy.

10. In the editor under the table, remove or comment out the following lines:

    JRXML

    JRXML

     <dataSourceExpression>$P{TestCaseRequirements}</dataSourceExpression>
                <subreportExpression class="java.lang.String">"subreport:RequirementsReport"</subreportExpression>
    

    Click the image to enlarge it.

11. Add the following code after the commented lines:

    JRXML

    JRXML

     <dataSourceExpression>$P{DataSink}</dataSourceExpression>
                 <subreportExpression class="java.lang.String">"subreport:CityDataResult"</subreportExpression>

    Here you add the CityDataResult subreport to the report template and fill it with the data sink data.

    dataSourceExpression should match the name of the data sink test step.

12. Now you can create a test case report. Switch to the test case page.

13. Click .

14. The Create Report dialog will appear.

    In the Type list, select the template you have modified.

    

15. Click OK to finish the creation.

The result should look as follows:
