A report’s content
can include the following types of objects:
-
Objects that display data or results,
including tables, graphs, geo maps, gauges, and stored processes.
-
Objects that provide static content,
including images (for example, a logo) and text (for example, a link
to a web page).
-
Objects that enable viewers to
interact with a report (these objects are called controls).
A report’s structure
is provided by sections and containers:
-
Sections separate content onto
different tabs or pages. Designers and viewers can see the contents
of only one section at a time.
-
Vertical, horizontal, stack, and
prompt containers group objects within a section. Containers can hold
more content than what fits on the screen. A horizontal or vertical
container has a scrollable space, and a stack container displays objects
as if they were in a slide deck. Designers and viewers can use the
scroll bar or control bar in the report to see additional content.
Prompt containers are used to group prompt controls.
