Frames are of two types static & repeating frames.

Static frames are used for heading of columns or text.

A repeating frame repeats itself for eg. in AR invoice transaction a header will have many lines. So the header will have higher hierarchy & lines will be put in a repeating frame.

Anchors are used to determine the vertical and horizontal positioning of a child object relative to its parent.  The end of the anchor with a symbol on it is attached to the parent object.

Since the size of some layout objects may change when the report runs (and data is actually fetched), we need anchors to define where we want objects to appear relative to one another.  An anchor defines the relative position of an object to the object to which it is anchored.  Positioning is based on the size of the objects after the data has been fetched rather than on their size in the editor.  It should also be noted that the position of the object in the Layout editor effects the final position in the report output.  Any physical offset in the layout is incorporated into the percentage position specified in the Anchor property sheet.

Since the size of some layout objects may change when the report runs (and data is actually fetched), you need anchors to define where you want objects to appear relative to one another.  An anchor defines the relative position of an object to the object to which it is anchored.  Positioning is based on the size of the objects after the data has been fetched rather than on their size in the editor.  It should also be noted that the position of the object in the Layout editor effects the final position in the report output.  Any physical offset in the layout is incorporated into the percentage position specified in the Anchor property sheet. 


Frames are used to surround other objects and protect them from being overwritten or pushed by other objects.  For example, a frame might be used to surround all objects owned by a group, to surround column headings, or to surround summaries. 
When you default the layout for a report, Report Builder creates frames around report objects as needed; you can also create a frame manually in the Layout Model view.



Repeating frames surround all of the fields that are created for a group’s columns.  The repeating frame prints (is fired) once for each record of the group.
When you default the layout for a report, Report Builder creates repeating frames around fields as needed; you can also create a repeating frame manually in the Layout Model view.

We need to create a Repeating frame for each group in the report in Data Model.
