Are there any Demo's where I can take a Report that has a Property and underneath that property is 5 owners. I would need the report to print the same report for 5 owners.
This is my current report using Jaspersoft which we are trying to get rid of.

Hello Nick,
Yes, creating such a report is indeed possible with Telerik Reporting but before going over the rest of my reply, if you are new to the product, I highly recommend first checking out our getting started articles in order to get familiarized with the product:
- Step-by-Step Guide on Designing Telerik Reports - Telerik Reporting
- Step-by-Step Guide on Integrating Telerik Reports in Web Applications - Telerik Reporting
With that being said, the easiest way to achieve the requirement is with the use of the SubReport item which basically allows you to embed one report in another. We will this item to display the same report for 5 owners.
For example, let's take the Employee Sales Report Demo | Telerik Reporting. This report currently displays the data for a single employee.but we can use the SubReport item to render it 5 times, each for a different employee.
For this, in the main report, we can create a data source that returns 5 employees. Then, the SubReport item will be inserted in the detail section and the data source component will be set as the data source of the Report.DataSource property. The detail section is rendered for each record in the data of the main report, so we will get 5 instances of the report, each one for a single employee.
Now, we only need to pass the current employee to the subreport's parameters so it can filter the data and return the data for the correct employee for each instance, for example:
I have attached the 2 sample reports that I created while describing the steps, please have a look at them and let me know if you have any additional questions or if you need further assistance.
