In the following section, we will make a copy of a report created in the previous chapter and configure its layout according to the needs of this chapter.
- We create a copy of the report we created earlier. Open the report
05_Adding_Groups.prptand save it with the name15_Adding_Hyperlinks_Sparklines.prpt. - We modify the report so that it looks like the following screenshot:
In the Group Header section, we leave a blank space where we can add a Sub-report later.
- In the Details Header section, we move the labels Customer and Amount to the left-hand side and add a label to show the value Trend.
In the Details section, we eliminate the horizontal line and move the two objects found here to the left so that they stay below their respective headers. We increase the width of this section, as we will later place a Sub-report here.
- To give this report a different style, we configure its colors to be green tones.
We made a copy of the report 05_Adding_Groups.prpt and saved it with the name 15_Adding_Hyperlinks_Sparklines.prpt. Then, using an image as a guide, we adapted the layout of the report. We changed the value of the title, moved some objects to the left-hand side, deleted a horizontal line, left blank spaces, and added a label to show the value Trend.
