Working with Decks
As we saw in the previous recipe, it is easy to build multi-tabbed reports using Active Reports. Here, we will examine another technique that will give almost the same results. Deck Control allows the IBM Cognos report author to create cards.
A card is a data container. Each card in a Deck Control will have different data. You can think of cards as if they are tabs. In this recipe, we will create a report that contains a Deck with two cards, a crosstab, and a chart, just like the previous report.
