You place objects on reports simply by draging-and-dropping objects you want to use on a report. You can place objects in headers of a column or rows to create a headers or place them in the inside of a report to fill it with data. Usually you put dimensions objects as headers and measures as the inside of a report.

The place where you drop an object in a particular cell matters. If you drop an object:

• In the center of a cell - it will fill this cell with data
• On the top of a cell - it will add a row above this cell and fill it with data
• In the bottom of a cell - it will add a row below this cell and fill it with data
• On the left side of a cell - it wil add a column on the left and fill it with data
• On the right side of a cell - it wil add a column on the right and fill it with data

There are several basic report templates you're able to use to design a report:

• Horizontal table
• Vertical table
• Crosstab table
• Form table

To change the default template of a report select Templates tab, then drag-and-drop a templete you want to use on a report.

To create a chart you can simply select the Template tab and drag-and-drop a chart template you want to use on a report. Then you place objects on the chart by draging-and-dropping dimensions as axes and measures as lines. If you want to create a chart based on a table report you can simply right-click on this report and select Turn to. Choose a chart template and click OK button to finish.

You can create sections in a report. Report sections divide data presented in a report into many reports divided by a dimension. To create a section drop a dimension object above a report.

You can also change the color of the report, size or style of a font, size of cells etc. Most of this options are similar to MS Office and are avaible on top menu or the Properties tab.
