Output Lists with Report Designer

Output Lists with Report Designer

The articles in this section of the Knowledge Base involve working with Lists for display in your reports. To learn more about Lists and how to access the Report Designer, see Creating Lists in Report Designer. This article provides additional information for outputting a list in Report Designer.

To print a list, add a Data band to the template page, and assign a Data Source to the band. Insert Text components on the band. Reference a different data field for each text component. For example:

{Products.Name}

The report template should resemble the following:


Fig. 01 – Data Band in Report Template

  1. The entire Data band for output tables. 
  2. The data source that is used to determine the data rows. 
  3. Reference to the data source. Text components are placed in the Data band. References to data source fields are created. When processing, all references are changed to data. 

Once the report is processed, all of the references to data fields that were created are populated with data from the specified fields. Data is determined by the data source specified for the band. The number of times the Data band prints is determined by the number of rows in the data source table. As a result, all fields were output as a list. Figure 02 shows a rendered report.

If all lists cannot be placed on one page, then the Report Designer adds additional pages.
