Detail Section
Use the Detail section to define your detail line or lines.
The JADE Report Writer Designer application prints the detail section, based on the input records provided by the database collection or collections that are defined for your report. It prints them repetitively until it encounters an end of page, end of group, or end of data.
The following image shows a portion of a typical printed report.
The detail line in the above report extract simply consists of product and price. The following image shows how this detail section would look in your report design.
In this example, the product and price are printed repetitively until a change of group is encountered, at which point a group footer is printed with a group total. The grouping is on customer. A report footer is printed containing the report total at the end of the report. Group sections, group headers and footers, and the report footer are described later in this section.
The group header in this example is the customer name. It is printed adjacent to the first line of detail for its group. This is achieved by setting the Combine With the Following option when defining the section properties. For more details, see "Setting the Section Properties", later in this chapter.
