    In This Topic

    A FlexReport generally contains - Detail, Header, Footer, PageHeader, Page Footer, Group Header and Group Footer - sections. Each of these sections contains atleast one sub-section. You can add as many sub-sections in a section.

    Sub-sections are useful in providing additional information about the data present in the parent section. You can add data fields in the same way as other sections. You can also enhance the look of a report by just adding a shape field to a sub-section.
