Multi-Purpose Reports

The Order Report with multi-level grouping no longer requires filtering by OrderID. It will correctly render order details if multiple orders are included in the data set. Let’s add an action to Customers data controller that will print all orders of a specific customer.

Start the Project Designer. In the Project Explorer, switch to the Controllers tab. Right-click on Customers / Actions / ag2 (Form) node, and select New Action.

When Key Selected Yes

Press OK to save the action. On the toolbar, press Browse.
