The Reports tool is used to create reports with complex formatting that are used for printing.

• Building reports using table sheets and text sheets.

• Editing data and saving changes to the source.

• Data visualization on report sheet.

• Setting report for printing.

• Using interactive controls.

• Supporting relational (as flat tables) and multidimensional (as crosstabs) data views.

• Setting up data drill down and drill up, moving from one view to any other, converting from multidimensional to relational data.
