Referencing to a Sub-Report

When a sub-report is referenced, its name and category details are placed in parent report. The actual report is referred at run time.

Tip: Use referenced report when a sub-report may be used in multiple parent reports.  Also, it is a good idea to use referenced report when a sub-report may undergo frequent changes.

1. Create a sub report holder in a report or a sub report.Figure 8: Referencing

Note: The values in ‘CategoryName’ and ‘ReferencedReportname’ auto-appear based on the value in Source property.
