The Report Design Process

The Process

Whether you start your layout in the Change Report area or not you need to:

• select a reporting sub area for the layout. This gives you access to data.

• select a report template.

• add data fields.

• add totals and filters.

Once you start working in the Report Designer area, you must

• define the report settings.

• insert additional headers and footers as required.

• select or insert objects into the headers, detail area and footers.

• edit the properties of the objects.

• apply borders if required.

• apply styles to an object if required.

• align objects for presentation.
