Description
It is possible to use SubReports within a single ICXE Report File – this provides a means of creating Dash Board Style report display. Each section of the Dash Board is a unique Report with its own data query.
...
The following support note demonstrates how to create a master report containing two subreports. Note there is no limit on the number of subreports that can be contained within a master report – it is more dependent on readability and execution time as each subreport operates independently and the database queried by each inturn.
Detail Steps
Important Information
To create a report that will contain subreports it is critical to understand what PARAMETERS are set by the ICXE in the master report. Any field (database or parameter) can be LINKED to a subreport but it is recommended that PARAMETERS are used where possible. Note also Inventory Controller XE sets FORMULAS as PARAM_XXXX where XXXX is the variable name. Crystal Reports uses SPECIAL PARAMETER fields (not formulas) to link to subreports. To clarify, the ICXE sets FORMULAS as PARAMETERS from the program to the master report while Crystal sets PARAMETERS to use from the master report to the subreport.
...
To recreate a Master Report all the subreports need to be REIMPORTED and RELINKED. An option exists in the SubReport menu as shown below to re-import a SubReport that has been changed externally.
