Working with vertical bands in PixelPerfect reporting
Vertical bands allow you to arrange report content differently than horizontal bands. Rather than a standard relational table, vertical bands form a structure where each column corresponds to a single value from a dimension in your app—for example, a year, month, or category dimension. Other columns of interest are organized as rows rather than columns. The classic example of vertical bands is the profit and loss report, where the profit and loss fields are listed as rows in the table, and each column in the table represents a single year, quarter, or month value.
There are three types of vertical bands: VerticalHeader, VerticalDetail, and VerticalTotal. You can add one or more of these bands to your report template. You can add vertical bands within various types of horizontal bands.
