The content of the
"Outline"
view represents the content of the report in a tree view. The root node is the
report itself, while the first-level nodes represent the report's sections.
Within each section, the report's fields and objects are listed. Any item you
select in the tree view will be selected in the report Design.
You can modify report fields and objects
by selecting them in the
"Outline"
view. When you right-click the selected item, you see a menu that contains the
actions you can carry out on the item.
Additional options are shown in the
"Properties"
view. For example, if you click a text object, the
"Properties"
view will contain the options to edit the text, to format its font or color,
and so on. Likewise, if you click a section node, the
"Properties"
view will contain the options to hide, suppress, format, and so on.
You can select multiple fields for
formatting by using
Shift-click or
Ctrl-click.
