Select rows and columns for the report

Every report has its sets of rows and columns, which can be specific for this report or be used in other reports. Every row included in the row set and every column included in the column set have a set of attributes specifying what data will be displayed in the report. You should define the row set and column set for the report.

The row set and column set can be used in a specific report or in a variety of reports having common data selection criteria and similar structure.

To define the rows and columns to be included in the report, you should perform the following steps:

  1. Identify what rows will be included in the report:

    To define what rows will be included in the report, you should add these rows to the row set used in this report.

  2. View the existing row sets, select or edit a row set, or create a new row set when necessary.

    For the detailed description of operations with the row sets, see View and edit row sets - overview.

  3. Identify what columns will be included in the report:

    To define what columns will be included in the report, you should add these columns to the column set used in this report.

  4. View the existing column sets, select or edit a column set, or create a new row set when necessary.
  5. Open the Report definitions (CS206000) window and set the Column set and Row set parameters for the report.

The row and column sets are defined for the report as a whole, and if the report includes multiple sections each consisting of various rows and columns, the row set and column set should include all rows and columns for all the report sections.
