The next level
A report can have more than five sections. You can create these sections yourself if you need additional sections. The RDC will create some for you whenever you group or summarize data.
Sections are numbered consecutively as they are created.
- The first new section created is section 6.
- The second new section is 7, and so forth.
When sections are created, they are added to the Sections collection and indexed appropriately.
You can place a variety of Report Objects in the sections of your report.
- If they are Field Objects, they could be one of many kinds of fields including database fields, formula fields, parameter fields, group name fields, or many others as well.
- If they are Subreport objects, they can each be viewed as a separate object with its own set of properties. But each subreport is itself a report, and as a report it can contain virtually all of the same kinds of different objects that it's parent report contains.
- If they are Cross-tab objects, they too can be viewed as separate objects or as specialized reports that themselves contain a variety of different objects.
With Subreport objects and Cross-tab objects, you can change the properties of the objects themselves (Subreport Name, Cross-tab Name) and you can change the properties of the objects they contain as well.
