Subreports

Specify that subreports be created on-demand

When you create a subreport, you can specify that it is to be on-demand and appear only as a hyperlink in the main report.

The actual data is not read from the database until the user drills down on the hyperlink. Only data for the on-demand subreport that is actually viewed will be retrieved from the database.

Re-import subreports

Maintain the most up-to-date subreports by re-importing a subreport automatically when opening the main report.

Re-importing not only updates the data, but updates the formatting, grouping, and structure of the subreport if any changes have been made. If you change the report the subreport was originally based on, you can have these changes reflected in the report containing the subreport.

You can either globally specify that all subreports should be re-imported, or set the automatic re-import for an individual subreport.
