Report Template – Page Creation #

A new report template will have no pages. A report template must have ‘pages’ if it is to produce a report.

We use the term ‘page’ in this context as a place marker to put a block of predefined and/or job dependent information.

You can report job responses in one content page, or several different content blocks (split by section and/or items).

Other than content pages, you can build cover pages, Info Pages, Summaries, Back Page and Index pages.

A report template can be built from as many as many ‘pages’ as you need.

From the Report Builder screen, click ‘Create page’ to start building a report template.
