Field List¶
The Field List provides a view of the schema for the data sources used in a report. It facilitates the management of report data sources and parameters, the addition of calculated fields, and the creation of bound report controls.
Manage Report Data Sources¶
The Field List shows available report data sources and their structure.
¶
The Field List offers several actions for the customization of the data sources.
Button | Description |
---|---|
![]() |
Renames the selected data source. |
![]() |
Edit the schema |
![]() |
Add a calculated field. |
Bind Controls to Data¶
Dragging and dropping a field from the Field List onto the report's surface generates a new report control that is automatically bound to the corresponding field. Also dropping a field onto an existing control binds this control to a corresponding field.
Create Tables¶
Dropping an entire data table onto a report creates a table with its columns bound to fields contained in the data table.
Select multiple fields, and hold down the CTRL or SHIFT key while clicking on them. Then, by dragging and dropping these fields onto a report, you can create a new table with its cells automatically bound to the corresponding fields.
