Overview of Report Sections

Any report can have multiple sections. Multiple sections can be used to present different views of the data to the person who views the report. Each section has one information map data source. However, it can use data from many different sources by including multiple stored processes. There is no limit to the number of sections that can be included in a report. Once you have created sections in a report, you can choose to independently view, link to, or distribute a specific report section.

You can use a group break to divide report sections by distinct category or hierarchy level values when you are using a relational or multidimensional data source. When you set a group break, it applies to all elements in the section. For more information about group breaks, see Grouping Query Results.
