7.1 About Columnar Reports
Columnar reports have different characteristics than tiled reports. A tiled report contains one or more views of data on a single page. A columnar report creates a
multiple-paged, continuous formatted report. When you select the Columnar Report template, the Columnar view is also automatically selected. You can also select a tiled
report template and the Columnar view although multiple pages are not provided for printing.
The data and properties formatting options in the Columnar Report are identical to those in the Columnar view available in tiled reports. See
Section 4.3, Creating and Using the Columnar View
for information about using the View Editor with the Columnar view.
7.2 Using Formatting Toolbars
When you edit a Columnar Report, additional toolbars are provided for formatting text and alignment. You can also insert text and images.

Note: Columnar reports and views support active data updates only,
and only under the following conditions: the updates do not change the grouping of a record, and the report does not span multiple pages
or frames.
