Crystal Reports  

Report Section Overview

For a new report, the Crystal Reports ActiveX Designer is divided into five report sections. You can choose to create additional sections, or to hide certain sections.

The data that appears in the finished report is contingent upon your design choices: in particular, report data varies depending on the sections into which you choose to insert particular report objects. For example, if you insert a chart object in the Report Header section, the chart will appear only once at the beginning of the report and will summarize the data contained in the report. Alternatively, if a chart object is added to the Group Header section, a separate chart will appear at the beginning of each group of data and will summarize the data relating only to that group.
