Data-bound Report Wizard

The Report Wizard allows you to create reports of three kinds - empty reports, data-bound reports and label reports. To create a data-bound report, invoke the Report Wizard dialog and select the Data-bound Report option on the first wizard page.

After completing the Data-bound Report wizard, you will get a tabular banded report. Depending on how many wizard steps you complete (you don't necessarily have to go through all the pages), you can apply data grouping, display totals, select one of the predefined style sheets, etc.

The following image shows a sample report created using the Data-bound Report Wizard.

Note

Depending on the method you used to invoke the Wizard, you may be creating an entirely new report or modifying an existing one. Creating reports from scratch requires database connection knowledge. In these cases, it's better if you contact your application administrator or vendor for assistance with the first three steps of the wizard. If you're modifying an existing report, these initial data binding steps will not appear and you will start with Choose Columns to Display in Your Report.
