Report View Manager > Modifying the Report Navigation / TOC

Steps you might take to add a new Chapter with a new Topic:

1.If not already done, create a new Report View.

2.Select the top level book or select an existing chapter you would like the new chapter to be contained within.

3.Press the button to add a new chapter. Chapters do not contain content other than what is contained in their layout, but are used to lump related topics. Specify the caption for the new Chapter and select an appropriate layout, and if desired, a watermark to be imprinted on each page of that chapter and its topics.

4.With that new Chapter selected, click the button to add a new topic that will be contained within that chapter. Specify a caption for that new Topic and a layout. Topics can contain content or can be read-only. In the case of a Read-Only topic, the topic's layout will define what will be included in the report. For example, an Invoice is sometimes created as a read only topic since the tags defined in the topic layout will populate the page without the report writer having to add anything to the invoice when creating a new report. In most cases however, a topic will have unique content that will be added for each new report. In this case, you need to specify a topic comment field that the topic will store the report writer's comment into. This field must be unique within a single report view (i.e. no two topics within the same report view should reference the same topic comment field name). You can select an existing topic comment field name, or specify a new one by clicking the magnifying glass to the right of the Topic Comment entry.
