Report sections

A Report section allows a form report to be presented as a section in a form. Form reports are discussed in the IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform: Reporting User Guide.

Like other kinds of sections, you can create a Report section by selecting the tab that will contain the section and clicking the Add Section action. You then set the value of the Type property to Report Section.

After you have set the value of the Type property, the next property you will probably want to set the value of is the Document property. The value of the Document property is used to determine which form report template will be used to generate the contents of this report section.

To select a form report template, click the search icon in the Document property. Clicking the search icon causes a Select Item(s) panel to pop up over the Properties panel containing a list of the documents in the Document Manager.

To specify which document to use as the form report template, select the document's radio button and then click the OK action at the top of the list.

After you have set the value of the Document property, you may want to set the value of some of the other properties. Here are descriptions of the properties of a report section:

"Common section properties" includes information about the following properties in a Report section: Type, Name, Label, Height, Title Bar Color, Visible, Expand Section, Read Only, Show Title Bar, Style Class, Start Row, Row Span, Start Column, and Col Span. The properties in a Report section that are not described in "Common section properties" follow:

Document: See the explanation of this property in the preceding paragraphs.
Financial Report: If the values in this report are or depend on Financial Rollup tokens, you should check this property's check box. Financial Rollup tokens are discussed in Application Building for the IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform: Calculations.
