After opening a typical report, the application will resemble the image below.
We can distinguish the following sections within the interface:
Application Menu The application menu is invoked by clicking on the application button. The menu contains commands that relate to report management or application wide settings.
Quick access toolbar A customizable toolbar located at the top for fast access to frequently used commands.
Ribbon The ribbon contains commands that relate to the application or current report as a whole. Note: each Report Element or Tool Window contains its own toolbar for commands that relate only to that element or part.
Report Title Displays the title of the current report. When hovering over the title an infotip will be displayed with the full path of the current report.
Report Elements Report elements are windows that contain data that is an integral part of the report, i.e. they are what will be present when exporting or printing the report. See the report elements topic for more information.
Tool Windows Tool windows contain tools to manage the content of the report, but that are not part of the report itself when printing or exporting. See the tool windows topic for more information. |
