You can add structure to reports by inserting sections. You have the option to either create a new section below a section of the same level or a subordinate section within an existing section. Inside sections, you use data fields to output query values, for example, or you place various graphical items such as charts.
You can insert as many sections as you like on the same level and up to a total of five subsections.
When you create a section, you have to define one or multiple queries for the section.
In the actual report, each section starts on a new page.
