3.3.5 Building a report that renumbers pages by repeating frame

In this example, you will build a report that numbers pages using the format Page X of Y Pages. The first number X corresponds to the current page for each parent record that is, each sales representative. This page number is reset to 1 for each sales representative, thus tracking the statistics of each representative separately. Figure 3–16 Final output of the renumbering pages by repeating frame example For more information on building this example, refer to Chapter 19, Building a Report that Renumbers Pages by Repeating Frame .

3.3.6 Building an intermixed fields report

In this example, you will build a report where the group field appears between its related fields. Normally, a group break field appears to the left of in group left report or above in group above report its related fields. Figure 3–17 Final output of the intermixed fields report example 3-10 Oracle Reports Users Guide to Building Reports For more information on building this example, refer to Chapter 20, Building an Intermixed Fields Report .

3.3.7 Building a report that suppresses labels

In this example, you will build a masterdetail report that fetches a master record with no associated details. In the sample output below, notice how the field labels for Department 40 do not display because no detail records were found. In this chapter, you will learn how to suppress the detail information for a single record, but allow the other masterdetail records to display. Figure 3–18 Final output for the suppressing labels example For more information on building this example, refer to Chapter 21, Building a Report that Suppresses Labels .

3.3.8 Building a conditional form letter report

In this example, you will build two form letters from the same report, as shown in the sample output below. As you can see, the two letters share a number of features. Hence, it is more convenient to create a base form letter and then apply conditions to certain parts to determine whether they should be displayed for the current record, in this case, employees.

3.3.9 Building a report with conditional highlighting

In this example, you will learn how to highlight data in your report. In this report that shows employee salaries, salaries that are greater than or equal to 10,000 are displayed in bold and in red color, and values that are between 4,999 and 10,000 are displayed in bold. Using the Conditional Formatting dialog box in Reports Builder, you can create format triggers that will change the appearance of retrieved data depending on factors you define.
