10. In the Report Design file, delete both getCustomerInformation and
rprmCustomerID.
11. Add both components from the Library back into the report. (Note: I
encountered an issue here and had to close both the Library and the Report
Design to accomplish this step.)
Summary
In this chapter, we looked at the aspects that are available to Report Projects and at
creating a shared development environment using Libraries. There are other options
we will look at in later chapters??”such as Templates??”that allow collaborative and
consistent Report Designs across the enterprise.
We have seen how to create new Libraries, new Library components, and use those
components in Report Designs. We have also seen how to add components from
reports into Libraries, and how to edit Libraries.
We also saw some other elements that were new, such as the Master Page that is
a common header and footer that will get placed on every page of a report in
multi-page reports.
In the next chapter, we are going to expand on two themes: the concept of applying
a consistent visual design to Report Designs using Styles, and how to apply overall
styles in Libraries to reports using Themes.
Styles, Themes,
and Templates
Up until now, we have worked with Report Designs using the formatting elements
in a very specific way.
