What makes up a section?
A section consists of a section cell and the section itself. The section cell is a free-standing
cell that displays a value for a selected dimension (for example, state, customer, year, and
so on).
For example, if a report has a section on the year dimension and the database has data
for the years 2001-2003, then there will be one section for year 2001 data, a second
section for year 2002 data, and a third section for year 2003 data.
A section can contain one or multiple tables, charts, or forms. The tables, charts, and forms
on a section only contain data that corresponds to the value in the section cell. For
example, a table in a section where the section cell displays 2003, only contains data for
year 2003. You can view sections in Results View or Structure View. The following
illustration shows a report with sections in Results View. The generic term block is used to
refer to tables, charts, and forms.
section cell 1
section cell 2
section 1
section 2
The section cell displays the value for the section. In this example, the section
shows information for Year 2003. This is indicated by the value 2003 which is
displayed in the section cell.
The blocks in the section display information that corresponds to the value in the
section cell. In this example, the pie chart and crosstab in this section show
information for the year 2003.
