Definitions (Report Data Views-based Report Chapters)

• how each of its following constituents are displayed:
• (if any) Container Group: horizontal, tab or vertical.
• Report Data View: table, graphic, or table and graphic.

Filters Binding (Report Data Views-based Report Chapters)
A filter enables to restrict a Report DataSet column values, which are considered in the report. This Report DataSet column is not necessarily part of the report.
Filters Binding enables to feed a filter content with another filter content. Both filters must be of the same type.
To do so you need to create a binding object.
