List Report

A list report is the most basic type of report that can be created using dotnet Report Builder. Once you have clicked on the “List” button on the “Choose Report Type” section, the next step is to select the fields that will be in the report.

Depending on how your database is set up, different information will be stored in different tables. Users can choose fields from more than one section to populate their report. The fields selected for the report will be summarized in the “Selected data for the Report” section as shown below. The table shows the fields that were chosen, as well as the tables from which the fields were chosen.
