In Visual Studio, the C1FlexReport component includes a smart tag. A smart tag represents a short-cut tasks menu that provides the most commonly used properties.
The C1FlexReport component provides quick and easy access to the FlexReport Wizard (for reports definitions that have not been created) or the FlexReportDesigner (for report definitions that already exist in the project), as well as loads reports through its smart tag.
To access the C1FlexReport Tasks menu, click the smart tag () in the upper-right corner of the C1FlexReport component.
The C1FlexReport Tasks menu operates as follows:
