Detail Report Band

Description

The Detail Report band is used to create a nested detail report. The Detail Report band contains data from a second query on the report's data source that has a defined relationship in the Master-Detail Relation Editor.

When you use a master-detail relationship with related data that is accessed using a Detail Report band, VertiGIS Studio Reporting queries every feature in the related table. When the detail table is large, the query may perform slowly or stop. For this reason, it is recommended to use a sub-report control.
