You can place all types of report items in the report body. You can place images, text boxes, and lines in headers and footers. The page header and page footer repeat the same content at the top and bottom of each page of the report. The report header and footer are not separate sections of the report, but rather comprise the report items that are placed at the top and bottom of the report body.

Report SectionsĪ report consists of three main sections: an optional page header, an optional page footer, and a report body. A report can contain graphical elements such as images and lines, and it can have multiple fonts, colors, and styles, which can be based on expressions. In addition to providing the organization and look you want in the report, placing report items in containers such as rectangles help control the way the report items are displayed on the report page.Ī report can span multiple pages, with a page header and page footer that are repeated on each page. For example, charts or images in table cells, tables in table cells, and multiple images in a rectangle. You can place report items inside other report items to create more complex report designs. When you place a report item on the design surface, it has a default size and shape and an initial relationship to all other report items. You can place data regions with different sets of data, or even the same data in different formats, side-by-side. You can interactively position, expand, and contract the initial shape of the report item using snap lines and resizing handles. With Report Builder, you can place report items anywhere on the design surface. The Rectangle can also be a container for other report items.Ī report can also contain subreports. The Line and Rectangle report items provide simple graphical elements on the report page.A Text Box report item contains either simple text like a title or an expression that can include references to built-in fields, report parameters, or dataset fields.An Image report item links to a picture.Other report items link to and display a single item. When the report is processed, the data region expands across and down the report page to display data.

Table, Matrix, List, Chart, and Gauge are data region report items that each link to a report dataset.

Report items are layout elements that are associated with different types of report data. Getting the best results for exported reports is often an iterative process you author and preview the report in Report Builder or Report Designer, export the report to the preferred format, review the exported report, and then make changes to the report. When you export a report to a different file format, especially for renderers such as the Adobe Acrobat (PDF) renderer that uses pagination based on the physical page size, you might need to change the layout of your report to have the exported report look and print correctly after the rendering rules are applied. Each renderer applies rules when rendering reports. Report Builder includes a set of renderers for exporting reports to different formats. The exported report can then be used for further analysis in Excel or as a data source for applications that can import and use CSV files. You can then export the report to different formats such as Excel or comma-delimited (CSV) files. When you view reports in a report server or the preview pane of Report Builder or Report Designer, the report is first rendered by the HTML renderer.
