Report Design
The design workspace is the environment in which you will build the
layout of the report. By default, this workspace shows three sections
which are the Header band, Detail band and Footer band. You will also
find toolbars containing objects which are similar with that of which the
Microsoft Office is using. You must get familiar with these objects
especially with those you will use to display the information from the
dataviews.
You can start working on this by selecting the Design tab.
