Report Overview and Output

As with all other types of reports, before Report Builder generates a report, you must create the report definition. There are five basic steps to follow to create a report definition:

  1. Create the initial report layout.
  2. Access and order the data.
  3. Define new fields.
  4. Design the report layout.
  5. Preview and save the report definition.

When you follow the steps in this chapter, you will create an invoice that displays different information in the header and footer for the first and last pages.

Figure 1–9 shows the first page of the invoice.

Figure 1–10 shows the second page of the invoice. Notice the difference in the header and footer information.
