  4. What I expect to Cover • Reporting Basics • Creating a basic banded report • Using Group and Summary Bands • Using Sub-detail Bands • Grouping around Sub-Detail Bands • Making your report look good

  5. Reporting Basics • The first questions to ask • Why do you need this report? • What will the report be used for? • What are the data requirement? • Parameters? • What should the report look like • Internal – Working report • Internal – Archival report • External

  6. Other Basic Design Thoughts • Source of data – one or multiple data sources • Does it make sense to include all the data elements in one query? • Data to always include on the report • Run Date • User who ran the report • The parameters used

  7. Student Schedule & Accounting Report • Internal working report • Data Elements • Student Information – Main Group Header • Name • ID • Schedule • Sub-Detail Band 1 – Class Information • CRN • Subject Code • CRSE Number • Sub-Detail Band 2 – Meetings • Start/End Dates • Meeting Data • Building & Room • Sub-Detail Band 3 – Account • DCAT Description • DCAT Total • Band Footer – Total • Student Group Footer • Total Credit Hours

  8. Items to Remember • Always create meaningful labels for your bands & sub-queries • Set band colors while designing – can be removed later • Work from highest group to lowest group • Set band font when creating band • Be careful to link bands with the proper parent • Using Sub-Detail bands • Select the proper dataset & master • Make sure datasets are linked to the correct Master Dataset - Example • If using higher group footer with total from lower one – set it correctly - Example
