Report Studio
Creating Advanced Page Sets
|
You can use advanced page sets to define sets of pages within your report, and then customize the grouping and sorting for each page set.
To Create advanced Page Sets:
- Pause the pointer over
the page explorer button
and click Report Pages.
- Create
the pages you want to appear in the report.
- From the Toolbox tab, drag the Page Set object
to the Report Pages pane.
- In the Properties
pane, set the Query property to
the query to associate with the page set.
- Organize the pages in the
report by dragging report pages to page sets.
- Insert the page containing
details in the Detail Pages folder.
Detail pages are the pages that repeat based on the items you group
by in the following step.
Note: You can insert multiple detail pages into the same page
set, and link them using a master-detail relationship.
- Define the grouping structure
for the page set:
- Click the page
set.
- In the Properties
pane, double-click the Grouping & Sorting
property.
- In the Data
Items pane, drag the data item you want to group by to the Groups folder in the Groups
pane.
- To sort
the data within each group, in the Data Items
pane, drag the data item you want to sort by to the Sort
list folder, and then click the sort order button
to
specify the sort order.
- Click OK.
- Repeat steps 3 to 7 to
create other page sets.
Note: You can nest page sets, and join
them by defining a master-detail relationship. Create nested page sets
to have pages occur within other pages. For example, you want pages containing
product type information occur within pages containing product line information.
