Creating A CAPITAL Report
The design of reports can range from simple to very complex. The Report Wizard will allow you to create a large range of basic reports. These can be customised or used as the basis for more complex reports.
The Report Wizard can be started by clicking on the Wizard graphic at the start of the application or by selecting Files|Report Wizard from within the forms editor.
Select the type of report you wish to create from the Wizard's selection list. Once you have done this you will be presented with a field list containing the columns that may be placed on the body of the report. Press the Add button to add a column to the report or the Remove button to remove it. Columns are added just below the currently selected column, so to add a column at a particular position, click on the report column above the point where you would like it to be inserted.
Finally, enter the name of the report in the Title field and select a sorting order for the report. Note that not all reports will offer you a pre-defined sort order. You can create a custom sort order by specifying this on the Link tab of the body.
Once the basic report has been created you can customise it further by adding additional fields, removing fields, linking extra tables and databases, adding graphics, additional heading and comment lines, and so on.
