Tables
In the example Employee Listing report from Chapter 3, we used a visual report
element called a Table, even if we didn't know it. The Table is similar to the Grid
component we saw in Chapter 4, except that it is data bound. What this means is that
the contents of this component are populated by data stored in a data container, such
as a Data Set. In the Employee Listing report, we saw a shortcut method for creating
a Table. This is very useful when you are building simple listing reports. However,
when you need more precision over your Table, you can also do it manually using
the component Palette.
Chapter 5
[ 91 ]
The Table is divided into three logical groups: The header that will contain the name
of each report column in the report; the Details section (which will actually contain
the data returned from the bound Data Set), and the Footer (which will contain
ending summary or aggregate information about a report). In the following example,
we are going to demonstrate two different ways to create tables. First, we will use the
shortcut "drag and drop" Data Set method. Second, we are going to manually build a
Table, bind it to a Data Set, and populate the element of the table.
Creating Tables Using Drag and Drop
First, we want to get the data from dsetJoined and move it over to our Layout view.
