Bind Report Controls to Data (Data Bindings)
Warning
Use the approach below if expression bindings are not enabled in the Report Designer (the Expressions panel is not available in the Designer).
See Bind Report Controls to Data (Expression Bindings) if expression bindings are enabled in the Report Designer (the Expressions panel is available in the Designer).
You can use the following approaches to include a data source's information in your report:
Use the Field List
After you bind your report to data, the Field List panel displays the data source's hierarchy and provides access to the available data fields.
Drop a data field from this panel onto a report's surface to create a new report control bound to the corresponding field.
Drop a data field onto an existing control to bind this control to the corresponding field.
You can also drop an entire data table onto a report to create a Table control with its cells bound to the corresponding data table fields.
To select multiple fields in the Field List, hold CTRL or SHIFT and click the fields. Drop these fields onto a report to create a new table.
Use the Properties Panel
You can use the Properties panel to bind a report control to a data field. Select the control, expand the Data Bindings drop-down list in the Actions category and choose a data field.
