Web report components
When you create a new web report in the Report Designer, the report has one or more components as determined by the template used to create the report. The report components define the content of the report. Currently, it is not possible to add or remove components, or to move or resize components. However, you can configure the component properties.
Each component has properties that determine the display and content of that component. For each component in the report, you must review these properties and configure them as needed. For example, Label components have display text, and Data Grid components have selected columns to display in the grid.
Components are configured on the Components panel of the Report Designer.
