Use CDL Editor to create reports via script typing, building definitions as the report grows. Add comments for easier editing.
Create a report using the Common Definition Language (CDL) by typing script into the CDL Editor panel. After creating a new empty report, build the report definition in the CDL Editor panel by clicking the CDL editor icon in the Sidebar. As you build the report, you will see it grow in the canvas.
The report definition is organized into functional blocks, as described in the Report Definition Structure.
Refer to the Studio Reference Guide for descriptions of the widgets, properties and code.
Note
It is highly recommended to add comments into the CDL at every opportunity to make later editing easier. To learn more, visit: Comments in CDL
