| The Design Area is broken into several sections or //bands// (they are shown as blue lines running across the Design Area). Each band has a special meaning and is processed in its own manner when the report is filled out with data at run time. Bands are explained in more detail in [[docs:2500_config_apps:4200_report_designer:0100_rep_bands|Report/Presentation Bands]]. The report is created by adding report elements to the appropriate bands in the Design Area – see |[[docs:2500_config_apps:4200_report_designer:0200_add_elements|Adding Report/Presentation Elements]]. | The Design Area is broken into several sections or //bands// (they are shown as blue lines running across the Design Area).

| Reports are filled out with data at run time when the documents are generated from document templates (see [[docs:2000_concepts:0900_prod_feats:0200_working_with_docs_reports:0200_doc_gen|Document Generation]]). The source of data is determined when a report is configured. The resulting documents are created in the Adobe PDF or HTML formats. There are some differences between the PDF and HTML formats. The differences are summarized below: | Reports are filled out with data at run time when the documents are generated from document templates (see [[docs:2000_concepts:0900_prod_feats:0200_working_with_docs_reports:0200_doc_gen|Document Generation]]).
