Create a report

There are many types of reports you can create. This section shows you how to create a table.

To create the report

1. Click the New button.

2. In the New dialog, select the Object tab.

3. Double-click the icon labeled Tabular. This selects the tabular presentation style.

   The wizard for creating tabular reports appears.

4. Select the Quick Select data source, and ensure that Retrieve on Preview is selected. Click Next.

   The Quick Select dialog appears. This allows you to select a database table and some or all of the table's columns.

5. Select the table called contact.

6. Select the following columns: last_name, first_name, title, phone, and fax. (You may need to scroll down.)

   InfoMaker moves the columns you selected to the grid at the bottom of the dialog. You can use this grid for reordering the columns, and for providing sort and selection criteria.

7. Click OK.

   The Select Color and Border Settings dialog appears.

8. You can use the defaults, so click Next.

   A dialog summarizing your specifications appears.

9. Click Finish.
