Creating a simple report using a wizard

In this section, we will walk through the process of creating a report region on an existing page.

We will use the report region wizard to create a SQL report, which will generate our employee list.

The report region wizard can be started in a number of different ways:

• We can click the Create Page button from the Application Builder to create a brand new page with a report
