Hi Subodha,

yes the reporting module has undergone lots of changes and the documentation
is lagging slightly behind but we will improve on that soon.

For the reports I recommend that you first create a report table with the
required data. After generating it (click the green "Generate" icon in the
list) you can get the JRXML source by clicking the "Download as JRXML"
button. This file you can import into iReport and all the parameters etc
will be there. Then modify it as you wish, add charts etc., then navigate to
Standard Report in DHIS and create a new one, including uploading the
modified report design.

It depends a bit on the report but it makes sense to create one report per
table in your original report document.

This list will be notified when more comprehensive documentation is
available.

regards Lars
