9.2.2.1 Table Group Box
A table is a collection of records that display in tabular format. Tables in a Report
Definition can contain a huge number of records which cannot be viewed at the
same time.
It is recommended that you have a maximum of ten tables in a single report. If you
need more than ten tables, you must create multiple reports.
Reporting incorporates a paging mechanism that optimizes the number of records
that display in a table. The configured height of a table in the Layout tab
determines the number of records that display.
The Table group box contains the following different tables.
