Adding Data Columns (from Data Model Tab)

The Data Columns on a report list data variables for which the report designer can set applicable variables. Report data is displayed in the body section of the report where the majority of the report data generally appears.

4. Left click the Data Model folder, and then click the appropriate sub folder, such as Fields, to expand it.
5. Drag and drop the desired object from the expanded folder to the Report Data section of the Designer canvas.
   Result: The object now displays in the Report Data section in its own column.
6. Click the object just placed in the Report Data section of the canvas.
   Result: The Properties dialog for the object is displayed in the Design panel located on the right side of the window.

7. Click the drop down arrow in the DataMember field, and select the data member to be used in this column.

NOTE: Some of these fields are already completed by default if you choose a field from the data model.
