Create sub-reports

You can create sub-reports within your current report. This enables you to display data from multiple sources.

1. Drag and drop a Sub-Report element from the Palette to the layout band where you want to display it.
2. A Sub-Report dialog box will ask if you would like to make this an inline or banded element.
   Choose one.
   • Inline Sub-Reports can be placed side-by-side with other elements (even other Sub-Reports).
   • Banded Sub-Reports occupy a variable height, but 100% of the report page width, so they cannot be on the same line with other elements.
3. Double-click the Sub-Report element.
   A new report tab will open and capture the window focus.
4. In the new report tab, establish a data source and create a report as your ordinarily would, keeping in mind that this will be included in the parent report. When you are finished, switch back to the main report tab.
