REPORT DESIGNER

"Report Designer" is a professional tool that allows users to create and preview reports regardless of platform. This feature allows users to design reports the way they want and edit them to suit their needs. enter image description here To create "Report Designer", follow these steps on the IDE:

  1. The "IDE" opens.
  2. "PROJECT MANAGER" opens.
  3. The relevant project is selected and the "SOLUTION ROAM" tab opens.
  4. Right-click on the "REPORTS" folder. The report is generated by pressing the Add button.

Let's create our first report.​

"The first band of the report, "Report Header", is located in the margins in off-page regions. This includes the report's name, company logo, creation date, user name, and other important information. In this way, the necessary introduction and information is provided at the beginning of the report.

"Report Footer" appears on the last page of the report before the Page Footer and Bottom Margin. The Report Footer banner is used to show the summary or results of the report. This section presents aggregates, averages, or other important results.

The "Details" band is the section of the report where the data is displayed in detail. Using this tape, you can create a separate row for each record in the data source. The detail tape prints all records as long as the data is not filtered. It is usually the largest section of the report and represents the main content of the report. enter image description here The table object from the toolbox is added onto "Report Designer" with the drag-and-drop method. Adding a table object occurs with 3 columns. The following steps are followed to customize the table object. enter image description here Double-click the column cell. Properties are displayed on the right side. In the "Text" field from the Properties window, enter the name to be given to the column.

This is where it is determined what data the marked cell will return. enter image description here After you complete your report design, the text format is determined by adding a label to the Report Header field. This can be the title of your report or another text element, and can be customized to reflect the image you want. By clicking on the 'F' icon, you choose between different options to determine the date structure. To save the changes, click on the menu lines located in the upper left corner, and then press the "Save" button. This ensures that you maintain the up-to-date design of your report and creates a saved version for you to use in case you want to access or share it again in the future. enter image description here The form in which to display the report opens.
