Defining Parent Controls For a Parent-Child Report

This task is a step in Process of Creating a Report With a Parent-Child Relationship.

To define parent controls for a parent-child report

1. Complete the procedure described in Defining Content Controls for a Custom Report using the following modifications:
   • Rename Content - ssRpt to ssRptAccount rather than ssReportOpportunity.
   • Instead of adding the ssFrm component to the Content slot, add the ssGrp component to the Content slot.
   • Subclass Content - ssGr, and then rename it to ssGrpAccount.
   • Make sure you complete the procedure by adding the datastream component.
2. Right-click the ssGrpAccount tree, and then choose Properties.
3. In the Properties window, enter ssName into the Key property.
4. Drag and drop the ssSeq library component from the Libraries window onto the ssGrpAccount tree in the Report Structure window.
5. When prompted, click Use As Content.

   This provides the sequential section that causes the subreports to execute in sequence.

6. Subclass the ssSeq component, and then rename it to ssSeqAccount.
7. Drag and drop the ssRpt component from the Libraries window onto the ssSeqAccount tree in the Report Structure window.
8. Subclass the component you added in Step 7, and then rename it to ssRptOpportunity.
9. Repeat Step 7 through Step 8, this time renaming the component to ssRptContact.
10. From the application-level menu, choose File, and then Save.
