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:

  1. Pause the pointer over the page explorer button and click Report Pages.
  2. Create the pages you want to appear in the report.
  3. From the Toolbox tab, drag the Page Set object to the Report Pages pane.
  4. In the Properties pane, set the Query property to the query to associate with the page set.
  5. Organize the pages in the report by dragging report pages to page sets.
  6. 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.
  7. Define the grouping structure for the page set:
  8. Click the page set.
  9. In the Properties pane, double-click the Grouping & Sorting property.
  10. In the Data Items pane, drag the data item you want to group by to the Groups folder in the Groups pane.
  11. 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.
  12. Click OK.
  1. 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.
