You can use the TOC Browser to navigate through a report. To show the TOC Browser, click Menu > View > TOC Browser.
In the TOC Browser, expand the Report node, select a component or a node with the group value that you want to browse to. The page that contains the component or the matching data will then be shown.
The table of contents on the TOC Browser is organized into a tree structure. The root node represents the report tab that you are currently viewing. The component names indicate components in the report tab. The group values show hierarchical groups.
TOC in JReport Designer
Just like a report, the format of the TOC is designed in JReport Designer. In the root node in the Report Inspector of JReport Designer, there is an object named TOC. You can modify its properties to customize your TOC style.
TOC Anchor
Besides the groups, you can also add your own nodes to the TOC Browser. Most components in JReport Designer hold a property called TOC Anchor which holds a Boolean value. If the TOC Anchor property value is true, a node for this object will then be added to the TOC tree. When you click such a node, JReport Viewer will turn to the page that contains this component. Some objects, such as group panels, summaries, subreports, and cube elements hold a true value for the TOC Anchor property by default, which means that by default they will appear in the TOC Browser. Moreover, you can type a string or even a formula as the Anchor Display Value property for a component holding a true TOC Anchor property, so that your input for that object can be displayed in the TOC Browser instead of the default value.
