As you can see in the diagram above, the detail list of the report has the same layout as the form. (See also Overview of Drilldown Reporting ).

The example is of a form with one axis but without key figures. You select the characteristics for the columns in the form. You first establish the key figures in the report definition. If, however, you wish to establish the key figures in the form, you can create a form with one axis with key figures instead.

If you wish to specify the contents of the rows and the columns in the detail list, you need to use a form with two axes when you create a report. See Creating a Report for more information.

A typical example of a form with two axes is that required for displaying balance sheets. In this example, you can see that it is possible to insert text rows, blank rows, underscores, and so on. You can also apply colors to rows and columns to improve clarity.

For more information on the exact differences between the form types, and for notes on sensible use of the different forms, see the online documentation Drilldown Reporting.

The reports created in drilldown reporting can be stored in the report portfolio as single screens or as screen sequences. In the process, you name the report portfolio report and assign it to a report class. You can also specify whether you wish to copy the report with or without data. If you copy a report without data to the report portfolio, the data will be selected periodically or when you execute the report portfolio report. For more information, see Copying Reports from Drilldown Reporting.
