My project migrates reports from impromptu to c8

One of the complex reports has 128  items, 28 queries and it has very lengthy calculated data items. Conditional formatting was applied

Layout is not a list or crosstab, it is an Invoice. I used frames
Formatting involved padding, alignment, borders, tables, blocks etc.

Another report was like

It had 5 to 6 joins

In impromptu we have hotfiles and picklists

Whereas in c8 we dont have hotfiles so we need to create a separate query for the items coming from the hotfiles and join this to the main query. Picklists are different kinds. If it is text picklist, you create static choices for that.
