As we all know Sage CRM provides reports functionality through which we can design our own reports and do the analysis of the business. Typically, there are 2 report styles which can be used to design reports in CRM i.e. Standard with Grids and Standard without Grids. Using any one of them will either display grids or columns in report output.
