About Designing Toad Data Reports

About Designing Toad Data Reports

Use the Data Report Designer to design reports visually. Stored in .tdr files, data reports are "live" reports that can be refreshed dynamically. What makes them dynamic is that they contain the underlying queries for report data sets. Each time a data report is opened, its query runs and the latest data is retrieved. The dynamic nature of data reports makes them ideal for distribution to users who need to see changes to data without waiting for scheduled updates or for new reports to be distributed.

You can also design data reports through the data reports tool.

  1. Right-click the data and select Send To | Data Report Designer.

    Note: You can also select Tools | Reports | Data Reports.

  2. Complete the wizard.

  3. Use the following to design the report:

    Field List

    Contains the fields available in the data set that you can include in the report. Bind Fields

    Toolbox

    Contains a set of controls to customize the format and display of the report. Add Controls

    Explorer

    Contains a list of items currently included in the report. About Navigating Reports

    Property Grid

    Contains the properties that can be modified for the selected items in the report. About Setting Report Properties
