In this chapter, we have learned how the data model and layout of a typical document report is created. A document report contains several patterns that you can reuse when you create other types of reports. These patterns include implementing multilanguage functions, address formatting, company logos, totaling, filtering the dataset, and working with headers and footers. We also had a look at an alternative report for documents called the mini document.

In the next chapter, I will demonstrate some tips and tricks like working with hyperlinks, displaying header or footer information on specific pages, and Trans headers and footers. In Chapter 6, Tips and Tricks, I will demonstrate some common real world problems and issues, and how you can solve them.
