BOM Report Bands

A report is divided into different “bands”, and for a multiple-table report this can be a bit complicated.

The Page Header band has information that will show at the top of each page of the report.

The Page Footer band has information that will show at the bottom of each page of the report.

The Detail band (in this case) is where you will typically place information about the assembly item itself. You would use fields from the MasterData table – but not anything found in MasterDataAssyData. In the sample above you see that we have fields ItemID and Description.

The Detail Report  band will have information that repeats multiple times for each record in the MasterData table – which in this case will be the component items. The Detail Report has several bands itself.

•      The Group Header band has the title information that applies to all records of the detail.

•      The Detail band of the Detail Report will contain information from each component record – fields that are found in the MasterDataAssyData portion of the MasterData table.
