In this chapter, we looked at the aspects that are available to report projects and at creating a shared development environment using libraries. There are other options such as templates that allow us to create collaborative and consistent report designs across the enterprise. All such concepts will be covered in later chapters.

We have also learned how to create new libraries, new library components, and use those components in report designs. We have also seen how to add components from reports into libraries and how to edit libraries.

We saw some other elements that were new such as the Master Page that is a common header and footer that will get placed on every page of a report in multipage reports.

The next chapter will give detailed information on two themes, the concept of applying a consistent visual design to report designs using styles, and how to apply overall styles in libraries to reports by using themes.
