Using Embedded Mode

When the SubReport element's SubReport Mode attribute is set to Embedded, the subreport must be a Logi report definition.

In the example above, the SubReport element has been added and its SubReport Mode attribute value has been set to Embedded. With this mode setting, the attributes that have been covered with a shaded block are ignored and a Target.Report child element must be used to specify the Logi report definition to be embedded. Other types of Target elements may not be used.

When the Logi Server Engine renders the page, it will render the embedded report first and then merge its HTML code right into the HTML code for the main report as it generates it, surrounding it with <DIV> tags. The page resulting from the sample code looks like the above.

Keep these restrictions in mind when using this mode:

  • Do not embed report definitions containing super-elements, such as the Analysis Grid, using this mode. Internal component naming and session variable conflicts will arise and the super-element will not work correctly.
  • Do not embed report definitions that use the Wait Panel element when using this mode.
  • Any Sort elements used beneath individual data table columns and Interactive Paging elements in the subreport definition will be ignored and will not be rendered.
  • You can add a Style element to the subreport but it may be overridden by the main report's style.
  • Drilling down using subreports in this mode is limited to two levels. In other words, you cannot drill down through one report to a subreport, which itself embeds another subreport, then drill down again using links in the second embedded subreport. Those links will not work correctly.
