Reports in the designer
are saved when you use either the
Save window
or the
Save As window. A saved report contains
at least one section. Typically, a section uses data items from a
data source to perform queries. The section displays the results with
one or more report objects (for example, a table, a graph, a gauge,
a control, and so on).
For more information
about sections, see Overview of Report Sections.A section is not required
to contain any report objects. For example, you might have a report
that you use only as a template to create other reports if you want
all reports to have a similar appearance. A template-like report might
contain data sources, calculated items, global data filters, and shared
display rules, but it might not contain report objects.
