  • 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 Data Sections" and "About Adding Data Reports".

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