Can anyone share their experience using Vertical Bands in Report Studio? The IFS documentation is very sparse and I’m trying to understand how/if the Vertical bands can be bound to a Data Member like Detail Report bands can, thus allowing repetition at any schema level.
From what I see (though trial and error), the Report itself can be bound to the top-most Data Member containing my report fields, but that’s it. I think this means that any repeating data needs to be sourced from that single schema node if I want to put it into the Vertical bands.
I did find a way around it by adding a Detail Report section below the Vertical bands that’s bound to a lower schema node. This seems to work, but I’m not sure if there’s built-in Vertical Band functionality that I’m missing.
Any comments on your experience using Vertical Bands are appreciated.
