Advanced Reports: Design Grid (v2021.1+)
The Design Grid is main interaction point of the Advanced Report Designer. Use the Design Grid to define the layout of the report by adding, altering and deleting rows, columns, and sections to it; and to define the content of the report by entering data fields, text, labels, formulas, images, charts, CrossTabs and maps to it.
Advanced Reports: Joins
Joins describe how the Data Objects on a report are related to each other. When two objects are joined, a field in the first object is associated with a field in the second object. Wherever a value in the first object's field matches a value in the second object's field, that value's rows from each object come together to form a composite row. The table produced by all the composite rows is the resulting data that appears on the report.
Advanced Options
The Report Designer's Advanced Options enable features such as report-level join configuration, Server Events, report-level parameters and the Show SQL dialog.
Cell Formatting
Use the Report Designer's Format Cells dialog to customize how data values will display, add custom cell borders, and apply formatting based on certain conditions.
