  4. Choose Add next to the Resource File field.
  5. On Browse Resource Files, indicate which resource file to use by completing one of the following tasks:
    • To use a resource file that currently exists in the resource folder, select the resource file displayed under the resource folder.
    • To create a new resource file using BIRT Report Designer, in New File Name, type a name for the new resource file, such as SalesReportResources.properties. You must type the .properties file-name extension.
  6. Choose OK.
  7. The name of the resource file appears in Resource File on the general properties page. The report uses the selected resource file. You can, at any time, specify a different resource file to use. You can also specify no resource file by deleting the file name from the Resource File on the general properties page for the report.
