Using a Data Table in a Report

To use a Worksheet Data Table in a report, follow the steps below.

1. Click the 'Options' button in the Worksheet toolbar, and verify that 'As data source to reports' is enabled. This makes the Worksheet visible for data binding in reports.

2. In Style Studio, open the report template in which you want to access the Worksheet table.

3. Open the 'Data Binding' dialog box for the report element (Table, Chart, Section, etc.) that you want to bind to the Worksheet table. (See Data Binding, in Report Design for information.)

4. In the Data tab of the 'Data Binding' dialog box, expand the 'Worksheet' node on the tree.

 

The 'Worksheet' node shows Data Tables belonging to the 'Global' and 'Report' scopes of the Asset Repository. Tables belonging 'User' scope are not available for binding.

5. Select the desired Data Table, and proceed with the data binding.

Note that only the table marked as 'Primary' in a Worksheet is displayed under the 'Worksheet' node of the 'Data Binding' window.
