Title: List within list
Post by: SKV2014 on 07 Feb 2014 10:37:44 AM
Hi,

I am looking to embed a list within a list so that I can improve the formatting of the list and It doesn't spill over to next page?
Has anyone tried this and coule list it out here?

Hi SKV,

could you deliver more information about the issue you are taling about ("spill over the next page")?
Lists are like crosstabs and charts Data-Container in Report Studio. If you experience suboptimal results concerning the display in special output formats, it might be something that you want to resolve with a workaround or a direct solution of formating.

You can use lists in lists e.g. with "master-detail" relationsships, but again: pls deliver more information on your problem, because i dont think your approach is the correct way to go at the problem.
regards
charon

You don't have this degree of control in Query Studio, sadly. These kinds of operations are available in Report Studio, but I think Cognos/IBM deem them too complex for a simple business user ad-hoc querying tool like Query Studio.
