Summary


For a very simple report design, we utilized all of the major areas of the BIRT perspective. We used the Navigator to create a new report project and a new report design, and the Data Explorer to create a data connection and dataset. We dragged elements from the Outline to the Report Designer to get the data elements into the right place, and we used both the Property Editor and Outline cooperatively to make the font of the text in the table header bold.

In the coming chapters, we will build more complex reports, and in the process, explain what the various BIRT report elements are, and what they can do.
