Elixir Report Designer Workspace

The Designer workspace consists of three tabbed panes. They are Report tab, Layout tab and the Functions tab.

The report structure, consisting of the DataSources, Page Setup, Sections and Style sections are displayed in the left panel of the Report tab window. The Render Sequence and the Parameters panel are present on the right of the Report tab window. These will be discussed later in this chapter.

The Layout tab window contains a tool bar and report layout as shown in Figure 3.1, “Report Layout”. The layout contains details, headers and footers.
