Title: Layout of the Report-nested lists
Post by: assilem on 01 Aug 2013 11:46:05 AM
Hello Cognoise Community,

Currently, I am doing reports in Cognos Report Studio 8.4.1 and I would like to design 3 nested lists in a report that shows the information by each record. Anyone can help me please?
Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
assilem

It isn't really clear to me what you mean, but sounds like you could be referring to a master-detail relationship. It might help if you mock up an example in Excel or something to illustrate what you are trying to achieve.

Hello Mrs. Lynn and Cognoise Community,

Thanks for your reply. I already used the master detail relationship property of these 3 lists. My problem is the report layout.
I did 2 solutions:

1- Inside the first list, in the second column, I added the second list and I did the same for the third list (in the second column of the second list);
2- I converted the first list into a table of repeaters and the second and the third list appear have the same layout that the 1) below each repeater table of each record.

In this post I send an example of 2 reports: "original report" and "cognos report". The problem is in the page 12. I want the same result of the page 3.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
