Generating Reports From Multiple Tables

Posted by: Editor / Monday, December 3, 2007 – 2:27pm

A support question came in recently, in which it was asked, "What is the best way is to generate reports from data in multiple related tables?".

While there are a number of ways to accomplish this, the best way (I believe) is to use a dedicated Reports table.

Here's my video reply to the question.

Great! Do you mean to export all required data to a table for the content of the report?

Then, we still need to build a layout for the report, right?

It would be great if you can share some experience on how to prepare the layout for printing in this situation.

Thanks,
