Understanding Document Sections

Documents are divided into multiple sections, each of which governs one step of the query and reporting procedure. You create sections progressively as you query a database, retrieve results, and generate reports.

A document usually includes Query and Results sections. From the Results section, you can create multiple Pivot, Chart, Table and Report sections to analyze and present data. You can also create Dashboard sections, which provide an automated push-button interface to a document.

Each section occupies an independent window and performs distinct operations. You can move back and forth between sections at any time to rebuild your query or alter your result data. You can also position sections side-by-side in multiple windows.

Note:

It is recommended that an Interactive Reporting document file (.bqy) have no more two hundred sections to ensure smooth performance.
