Placing a Sub Report on a Data Band in Report Designer

The articles in this section of the Knowledge Base involve working with Sub Reports for display in your reports. To learn more about Sub Reports, and how to access this section within the Report Designer, see Understanding Sub Reports in Report Designer. This article provides an overview of inserting a Sub Report on a Data Band.

The Sub Report component can be placed on the Data Band. When rendering a report, the Sub Report is rendered as the item of the Data Band, so it is printed in each Data Band. Figure 01 shows the scheme of the rendering of the sub report when placing the Sub Report component in the Data Band:


Fig. 01 – Sub Report Components on Data Bands

In this case, the height of the component on the sub report page of a report is higher than the height of the Sub Report component. So the Sub Report component is placed in the Data Band and rendered as the item of the Data Band, and, in this case, the Can Grow property works, and the component can grow by height.
