Editing Report Diagrams
Report blocks are ordered in a master/detail structure.
Adding blocks to the report structure
Each block is created by either adding it at the report level or as a child block
to another block. New blocks are added by simply selecting Add Block from the context
menu of the Blocks or Child Blocks lists.
Adding contents to a block
Attributes and parameters to a block are automatically added when a SQL statement
is entered and the Apply button is pressed.
Note:
Use column aliases in the SELECT statement to get proper attribute naming.
Example: SELECT substr(date) short_date FROM ...
Note:
Use parameters with an trailing underscore to get proper parameter naming.
Example: ... WHERE order_id = my_order_ ...
