Which items are considered report objects?

Which items are considered report objects?

• A. Fields, Group headers, and footers
• B. Tables, indexes, and triggers
• C. Spreadsheets, charts, and dashboards
• D. Columns, rows, and cells

Answer: (A)

Report objects are the elements you use to build the report’s layout and content. Fields provide the actual data values to display, while group headers and group footers organize data into logical sections and offer summaries for each group. This combination—data items plus structural headers/footers—is exactly what you work with when designing a report. Tables, indexes, and triggers are database objects, not report layout elements. Spreadsheets, charts, and dashboards are broader data presentation tools, not the specific building blocks of a report. Columns, rows, and cells describe a data grid rather than the report’s layout components.
