What are the different layout objects?

There are 4 types of layout objects.

A.    Frames: Frames surround other layout objects, enabling control of multiple objects simultaneously, ensuring that they maintain their positions relative to each other in the report. A frame might be used to surround all objects owned by a group, to surround column labels.

B.    Repeating Frames: Repeating frames act as placeholder for groups (repeating values) and for rows of data retrieved from the database. Repeating frames repeat as often as the number of rows retrieved.

C.    Fields: Fields act as placeholder for column values. They define the formatting attributes for all columns displayed in the report. A field can be placed inside a frame.

D.   Boilerplate: Boilerplate consists of text and graphics that appear in a report each time it is run.
