Explanation

Here we design the report. The menus are obvious so we won't bother. What may not be obvious the the Banded Report design and the Smart Tag. Smart Tags will be displayed on entities that are selected (if available) like so:

snip_report_design_smart_tag

Smart tags can be expanded to so entity specify settings. Here we see properties specific to the Detail Band:
