Fig. 01 – Sub Report
It is possible to display a report within the current report using the Sub Report component. When a report with Sub Report components is rendered, the report engine builds all the nested reports and place them within these components.
Fig. 02 – Sub Report Components Example
Sub Reports can be placed on:
Panels
Pages
Bands
A report to display in the rendered report using the Sub Report component can be obtained:
From a file (*.mdz, *.mdc, *.mrz, *.mrt)
From within the Report Designer, by designing the Sub Report on the added page.
By Hyperlink (*.mdz, *.mdc, *.mrz, *.mrt)
From Report Resources (*.mdz, *.mdc, *.mrz, *.mrt)
The Sub Report component can be placed within another Sub Report. This means the Sub Reports can be nested an unlimited number of times.
