Using the TreeView style
The TreeView presentation style provides an easy way to create reports that
display hierarchical data in a TreeView, where the rows are divided into groups
that can be expanded and collapsed. Icons (+ or –) show whether the state of a
group in the TreeView is expanded or collapsed, and lines connect parents and
their children.
This TreeView style report groups by manager ID and state and lists employee
information and salaries:
For more about the TreeView presentation style, see Chapter 15, “Working
with TreeViews.”
Building a report
You use a wizard to build a new report. To create a report or use the Report
painter, you must be connected to the database whose data you will be
accessing. When you open the Report painter or select a data source in the
wizard, InfoMaker connects you to the DBMS and database you used last. If
you need to connect to a different database, do so before working with a report.
