Inserting a Table

1.  You have different possibilities to output tables:

a.  A table as an element in the report container. Insert the object via the "Objects" tool window. If no report container has been placed in the workspace yet, select Insert > Report container (Objects > Insert > Report container) and drag the object to the desired size in the workspace while holding down the left mouse button. A selection dialog for the desired element appears. Select the "table" element.

b.  A table as an object, if the report container is not supported by the application. Select Insert > Table (Objects > Insert > Table) and drag the object to the desired size in the workspace while holding down the left mouse button.

c.  If you drag fields from the variable/field list into an empty area or into an existing report container, a new table and, if necessary, a new report container will be created. For more information on drag & drop, see chapter Variable/Field List and Drag & Drop.

d.  Tables can be output in a table cell. To do this, select the corresponding entry in the table object dialog via the context menu. If you want to output aggregated data, the output in a footer is suitable. For more information, see the chapters Tables in Columns (Nested Tables) and Creating Statistical Reports With Footers.

2.  In the following dialog, select the data source. All available tables will be displayed hierarchically, i.e. below the tables you will find the respective relationally linked tables.

3.  Information on further configuration can be found in chapter Modifying the Fields and Columns.
