RE: what are complex reports?

Complex reports is a when we have to retieve the metadata from different datasources where located at different places and design the reports using different report types(list crosstab graphs & repetars) more times in single report.

RE: what are complex reports?
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.

RE: what are complex reports?
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.
