Creating a Report type form
Note: This topic is for the creation of
Report-type forms in WinStudio Design
Mode. For the procedure to create these forms in the Web Designer, see the help topic on Creating a
Report type form (web designer).
The Report type of form is designed to make it possible for you to create your
own custom report-template forms that you can then use to generate your custom
reports. Create the report form using the New Form
Wizard.
Note: In addition to this form, you should plan to create a second
form, called a report criteria form, to allow a user to select report options
for, preview, and print the report itself.

In addition, you can employ secondary collections and set the hierarchies between them (and the primary collection). To set those hierarchies, use the Parent Collection property on the Collections property sheet.
Note: Once you finish designing
your report template, you should create an accompanying report criteria form. Once
that form is created, come back to the template form and set up the required
associations between the two forms.
