Create a Master-Detail Report

This document will guide you through the process of creating a master-detail report. Reports of this type are built upon hierarchical data sources, so to be able to create a master-detail report, you need to provide a report data source with a master-detail relation.

To get started with this tutorial, create a new Snap document and add a master-detail relation to it.

Perform the following steps to create a master-detail report.

  1. Create a master report. To do this, drag-and-drop data fields of the master data table from the Data Explorer to the design surface. You can use any type of layout.

  2. To create a detail report, drag-and-drop data fields of the detail data table from the Data Explorer onto the lower border of the master report's data row, as shown in the image below.

  3. The master-detail report is now ready. Click the Print Preview button in the General Tools: File tab of the main toolbar to view the preview.
