Building
Reports |

Developer workbench is the only tool provided with Actuate e-Report
Designer which uses coding in a report. The libraries made with this
tool can be used with any other report tools provided by Actuate.
With this we can make as well as view reports, which are in the
report server.

Tools |
|
Tools which we are using in actuate have their own tool bars. They are viewer toolbar, query editor toolbar, debug toolbar, navigator toolbar, and stored procedure toolbar.
With the viewer, we can view the report after running the finished
report. The navigator helps us to distribute and access report files in the report
encyclopedia
|
|
|
|
Slots |
|
The design of a report contains different slots. They represent the component reference properties. Each slot has a name, which indicates that the component in that slot is used for what. The design of a report contains two main slots; content and
page list. |
|
|
Sections |
|
It is a main component, which determines the logical structure of the report. At the time of designing the components are collected in sections. While running the report, the section receives the input data and decides which component is to work out.
|
Different sections are :
|
|
|
Report
section: In a report design report section is the major
component. |
|
|
Group section:
A group section component helps us to group
the
data and contains components to display that data. |
|
|
Sequential
section: It helps us to produce more than one report in a single report
object. |
|
|
Conditional section: With the conditional section we can
determine
which of the two frames or sections to be displayed or print. |
|
|
Parallel section:
We can view two or more reports
simultaneously, with the help of the parallel section. |
