How are data tables structured?

A data table is used to output the values of queried data in table format. When you create a data table, you also define a query for the repetition area.

Depending on the settings, a data table comprises both a static area and a repetition area. Use the static area to set the header of the table, which is displayed on each page when the report is run. When you run the report script, the line in the repetition area is displayed for each data element returned by the configured query, such as each function of an EPC. Here, the queried values are output individually, one per line.

You can specify the number of columns when you create a data table and change it later in the table properties.
