• Text - Display entered text, inline images, and inline reports, and links to reports, data grids, other pages, files, external URLs, and so on. You can manage text sections using an intuitive WYSIWIG editor. See "About Text Sections".

• Navigation - Add dynamically generated navigation to subordinate pages or page sections. See "About Navigation Sections".

• Data - Create inline reports based upon a data grid or report. See "About Adding Data Grids" and "About Adding Data Reports".

• Chart - Create inline charts based upon a data grid or report. See "About Chart Sections".
