[SOLVED] cannot figure out How do I add fields to report

[george_17]

hi all

seems so simple but i read the docs and cannot understand what it means...

the docs say select the node of the report in the outline view.... cannot see a nod or anything referring to itself as a node

all i see is a blank outline with a pallette on right containing other sections...

anyway ... trying to read the docs to see how it adds fields i manage to find a control over the outline report view which opens the datasource table on left panel and field in right within a sql select...

 

i see in docs it refers to clicking read so i do that...

in the bottom panel i can see fields i selected in the datasource and actions on right to add remove etc... so i add a field, click ok expecting the field to be added to the report...

 

but the report outline is blank

 

Please can anyone help me fgure out how to get these field into the body of my report

 

many thanks

 

george

Try viewing some videos on Youtube. I think you're on the right track. You just need to open up the "Fields" section on the lower left panel and drag some fields on to the canvas sections.
