Designing a Report Design a simple or complex report using the views, menus, and tools in the Report Designer. Launch the Report Designer Launch the Report Designer from the Genero Studio main menu or the Project Manager. Placing elements on the report page When placing elements on a report page, you determine whether the positioning is absolute or relative by setting element properties that determine how the element acts as the report changes. Organizing the report structure (the Report Structure view) You use containers to make sure that the report elements print correctly. Changing a property value (The Properties view) Select a report element in the report page (work area) or Structure View to display and edit the property values in the Properties View. Adding report data (Data view) The Data View specifies the structure of the data record for the report. Using page numbers Use the Page Number drawable to print page numbers on a physical page. Print group totals and report totals Print totals on your report to aggregate numerical information. Specify different pages A report might contain front and back matter, or it might display different content on the reverse side of the page. Design labels A label is a logical page that is printed several times on a single physical page. For a report application that prints out labels, the report design document (.4rp) is the size of a single label. Specify the paper settings of a report Paper settings set the paper orientation, the page size format, and the report margins for a report.
