The Report Design window

Choose File>>New, Report from the Genero Studio main menu, or double-click an existing report design document (4rp file) in Project Manager, to open the Report Design Window. When creating a new report, you can choose to begin with a blank report, or with a list report template that has the basic structure already in place. These views and windows provide the tools and work areas for the report. Use the Window>>Views main menu option to display and hide views.

• Structure View - a tree of the report containers and their contents
• Properties View - a list of the properties for a selected report element
• Data View - a list of the data objects that are available for the report
• Toolbox - a list of the containers that are available
• The Output View - tabs display the output, document design errors, and the task manager.
