Definitions (for Report Chapters based on Report Data Views)
Definitions shows:
• a global view of the Report Chapter constituents and structure (as a tree view)
• 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.
For example, the "Application Cost" Report Chapter includes two Report Data Views showing a Table and a graphic on the same row (Group Container Organization: "horizontal")
Filters Binding (for Report Chapters based on Report Data Views)
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.
