Creating a new TreeView report
458 InfoMaker
4 Define the tables and columns you want to use.
You are prompted to specify the TreeView grouping columns.
Multiple columns and multiple TreeView levels
You can specify more than one column, but all columns apply to TreeView
level one. At this point, you can define only one TreeView level. You
define additional levels later.
In the following example, TreeView grouping will be by department, as
specified by the
dept_id column:
If you want to use an expression, you can define it when you have
completed the wizard. See “Using an expression for a column name” on
page 460.
The sample report shown in “Example” on page 456 uses the department
and employee tables in the EAS Demo DB database.
5 Specify the column or columns that will be at the top level (level 1) of the
TreeView report.
The sample report uses the department name as the top level. If you want
to display both the department ID and department name, you specify that
both columns are at the top level.
6 If you want the TreeView report to display grid lines, select the Grid Style
check box.
When you select the Grid Style check box, the TreeView report displays
grid lines for rows and columns. You can drag the grid lines to resize rows
and columns.
