You can create other reports in your current one by creating sub-reports. This
enables you to display data from multiple sources.
-
Drag and drop a Sub-Report element from the Palette to the layout band
where you want to display it.
-
A Sub-Report dialogue 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.
-
Double-click the Sub-Report element.
A new report tab will open and capture the window focus.
-
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.
You should now have a report with a separate data source embedded within your
current report. You can repeat this process for as many sub-reports as you have data
sources for.
