Creating PixelPerfect reports with a level

You can create PixelPerfect reports with a level to repeat the content of a part of the report for each value of the field or table added to the Levels node.

You can add chart objects (images, tables, and charts) in the repeated report part. In this example, you will create a report that shows a page for each year with two different charts from QlikView.
