When Reports is initially accessed in any job file, the Reports - Report dialog is automatically displayed. In this dialog the default option, Create Report, will create a "dynamic report" based on the contents of the project and the options selected in the dialog.
When a report is initially created, all pages in the report are of the same size. Variable page size may be specified in the Report Properties command in the Reports Toolkit.
The contents of the Dynamic Report are managed by proxies (placeholders). The proxies are automatically filled with content as available in the AGi32 model.
