| This is probably the main section of a report or presentation. Elements in the details band are repeated over and over again for different sets of data available in the data source at run time (see [[2000_concepts:0900_prod_feats:0200_working_with_docs_reports|Reports]]). For example, if the details band contains elements that display values of the two attributes of a business object and at run time there are 5 instances of the business object (found by a query, for example) the elements in the details band will be repeated 5 times. Each time the band will be filled with attribute values of the corresponding instance. See also the picture in the [[2500_config_apps:0500_add_edit_objects:0300_define_presentations|Defining Presentation]] section for an example of a presentation design and the resulting document in the Operation Mode. | This is probably the main section of a report.
