Creating a Design File For a Multiple Hierarchy Report
This task is a step in Process of Creating a Report with a Multiple Hierarchy. When creating a parent-child report in Process of Creating a Report With a Parent-Child Relationship, you first created a custom component library and then a new report design in Actuate e.Report Designer Professional. Create a report design by first copying an existing design, and then making changes to the copy. To create a design file with a multiple hierarchy
- Open the acopcon.rod report design in Actuate e.Report Designer Professional.
Note that the acopcon.rod file defines the Account - Opty/Contact Detail report.
- From the application-level menu, choose File, Save As, and then save the file as mulhier.rod.
- In the Report Structure window, right-click the acopcon top-level tree, choose Properties, and then change the ssReportTitle property to Multiple Hierarchy Report.
- Modify the libraries included in this report:
- In the Libraries window, expand the mulhier.rol library to open datastreams for the following business components:
|
Business Component Represented |
ssAccountQuery |
Account |
ssOpportunityQuery_1 |
Opportunity |
ssContactQuery_2 |
Contacts |
ssCompetitorQuery_1_1 |
Competitor |
- Expand the ssRptOpportunity library, drag and drop the ssSeq library component onto the Content - ssRptAccount tree.
ssSeq provides the sequential section that causes the subreports to execute in sequence.
- In the Use As dialog box, choose Before.
- Subclass ssSeq, and then rename it to ssSeqOpty.
For more information, see Subclassing an Object and Renaming an Object.
- Drag and drop the ssRpt component from the Libraries window onto the ssSeqOpty tree in the Report Structure window.
- Subclass ssRpt, rename it to ssRptCompetitor, and then expand ssRptCompetitor.
- Drag and drop the ssCompetitorQuery_1_1 component from the Libraries window onto the DataStream slot of the ssRptCompetitor tree in the Report Structure window.
- From the application-level menu, choose File, and then Save.
