Working with nested reports
360 InfoMaker
Notice that the id column is preceded by a colon (:), which is required:
When you run the report now, InfoMaker retrieves rows in the nested
report based on the criteria you have specified. In the example, the
customer ID column in the base report determines which rows from the
sales_order table are included for each customer.
Using options for nested reports
Using the Autosize
Height option
Autosize Height should be on for all nested reports except graphs. This option
ensures that the height of the nested report can change to accommodate the
rows that are returned.
This option is on by default for all nested reports except graphs. Usually there
is no reason to change it. If you do want to force a nested report to have a fixed
height, you can turn this option off.
Note that all bands in the report also have an Autosize Height option. The
option is off by default and must be on for the Autosize Height option for the
nested report to work properly.
❖ To change the Autosize Height option for a nested report:
1 In the Design view, select the nested report.
2 In the Properties view, select the Position properties page.
3 Select/clear the Autosize Height check box.
Handling large rows
To avoid multiple blank pages or other anomalies in printed reports, never
create a report with a data row greater than the size of the target page. To handle
large text-string columns, break the large string into a series of small strings.
The smaller strings are used to populate individual data rows within a nested
report instead of using a single text column with an autosized height.
