To insert a banded object into a report, perform either of the following:
If you want to have data in the banded object sorted in a desired order, click the Sort Fields By button, then specify the fields on which the sorting will be based and the sorting manner as required (for details, see the same topic Sorting the data on table).
To define a filter condition, click the Add Condition button to add a condition line, then from the field drop-down list, select the field on which the filter will be based, set the operator with which to compose the filter expression from the operator drop-down list, and in the value combo box, type the value of how to filter the field or select the value from the drop-down list.
If you have specified to insert the banded object into another banded object, by default the banded object will inherit its parent's style. If you want to apply another style to the banded object, uncheck the Inherit Style option and then select the required style from the Style box. For more information, see Inheriting the style from a data container.
If you have specified to insert the banded object in the report body or tabular cell, the banded object will be inserted there upon clicking the Finish button; otherwise, click the mouse button in the location to insert the banded object.
After a banded object has been created, you can customize its appearance and behavior by setting properties in the Report Inspector, which can be saved as a CSS style for future use (for details, see Creating a CSS style).
