ActiveReports provides an extensive collection of report controls (and data regions) that you can use when creating your reports. Just drag these report controls from the toolbox and drop them onto the design area to begin as the first step in designing the reports. The reports controls may be unbound like Label, Line, Shape, and Container that do not need data source to show data, or bound like Table, Tablix, Chart, etc. that need data source to show data.

Following are some notes for report controls in WebDesigner,
1 In Section report, Chart data region is not supported in design-time.
2 Classic Charts (charts in older versions) are converted to new charts showing notification for same when reports with classic charts are loaded in ActiveReports 15 WebDesigner and later. Unsupported classic charts such as Renko and Kagi are converted to column chart.
3 In Page/RDLX reports, Map control is not fully supported at design time. However, it is correctly displayed at preview.
