Report Designer

The Report Designer opens in its own window, with two data sources to start with, called Part and Sys. The Part data source is used to pick various text, numeric and image fields from the part to insert into the report. The Sys data source is used to place other elements in the report like standard logos, geometric shapes, divider lines or other images.

At this point, you can click on the empty page in the report to adjust the paper size, the orientation and the margins for the report. All sizes used in the report editor are in points.^[1]. The Gutter you see in the image above is the standard gap that Flux places between fields in a report.^[2].

You can use the data sources to:

Add Fields, Pictures and Tables to a report
Create Bands or sub-reports
Add static Labels, Bitmaps and Shapes

1. A point is 1/72 of an inch, and is the standard measure used in type-setting.

2. To edit these settings (such as paper size, margins) later, just click on any element on the page, and then click on the ^Report link to navigate up to the settings for the report.
