Defining reports

Defining a report is the process of populating it with data and specifying how that data is presented. Fundamentally, reports, whether basic or complex, are lists of elements and the values associated with them.

These are some important techniques:

• Creating and defining lists
• Creating slices
• Placing hyperblocks and other list objects and using them to display lists
• Inserting formulas
• Specifying actions
• Creating variables

The Application Studio Tutorial explores some of these techniques. Session One describes how to create and define a basic report based on the Best Practices sample database. The path to the tutorial is:Documentation\Application_Studio\Application_Studio_Tutorial_EN.pdf on the installation DVD.
