When to Use Columnar Sections

Use columnar sections when you want to display rows of data with column headings. This format is beneficial when reviewing a large number of records with specific fields of interest. For example, you want to review the salary of all the employees in the company.

You can join columnar sections to other columnar sections or to group sections. You can attach a different business view to each section. You must join the sections on common fields.

You can define columnar sections as conditional. Conditional sections are called from the report section preceding the conditional section. Conditional sections are called using event rules and process only when stated criteria is met.
