Creating a Section Using Freehand Operations
In Creating a Section Using the Data Binding Wizard, you learned how to use the Data Binding Wizard to bind a Section to a data source. You can also bind a Section to a data source by using freehand operations.
To create a new Section that displays a set of fields from a query, data model entity, or Data Block, follow the steps below:
1. Expand the Style Studio Toolbox panel.
2. Drag a 'Section' element from the Toolbox panel to the desired location in the report. This creates a blank Section in the report.

3. Open the Style Studio Data Source panel.
4. Expand a query, data model entity, or Data Block in the Data Source panel.
5. Click to select a field (or Ctrl-click to select multiple fields) from the data source, and drag the field(s) into the Detail band of the Section.

This binds the Section to the selected data source, and displays only the selected fields from result set. Detail records are displayed in the Detail band, and field headers are displayed in the Header band.

6. Modify this Section as desired using freehand operations. See Modifying a Section Using Freehand Operations.
