Component

The following are details about options of this category. See the dialog.

Insert component with static/relative/absolute position in flow layout report

Specifies the default method with which to place components:

static
If selected, the component will be positioned at the location in which it is inserted.
relative
If selected, the component will be positioned at an offset to the position in which it is inserted. The offset is determined by the X and Y coordinate property values.
absolute
If selected, the component will be located at the position specified by dragging and dropping or by setting its X and Y coordinate property values.

See the Position property for more information.

Notes:

When you insert a table, crosstab, chart, tabular, banded object, subreport or map component into a flow layout container, this option does not take effect.
Since the position for all the components that are inserted into a banded panel is just absolute, so when you insert component into the banded panel, this option does not take effect either.

Insert field name label with field

Specifies whether or not the fields will be inserted into reports together with their default name labels.

Insert group name label with group

Specifies whether or not the groups will be inserted into reports together with their default name labels.

Customize group indent

Specifies whether to customize the indent of groups created via the report wizard. By default, the indent of the groups is 0 inch. You can also input a value between 0 and 4 to customize the indent.

If this option is not checked, when you create groups in a report in the report wizard, the groups will be indented according to the width of the group by fields.

Qualify Group/Sort field by connection

By default, any field added to the catalog in JReport can be used to group and sort. However, you can specify here whether or not a field can be used to group or sort. The qualification information will be stored in the database connection.

Horizontal Gap of Crosstab

Specifies the horizontal gap between two parts of a crosstab, which is split according to the page settings.

Vertical Gap of Crosstab

Specifies the vertical gap between two parts of a crosstab, which is split according to the page settings.

Display abbreviations for panel labels of banded object and table

Specifies whether to display abbreviations for the panel labels of banded object and table in the design area.

Align summaries vertically

Specifies whether to make summaries aligned vertically, which are created via the report wizard. For a table report, this option takes effect only when the summary field of the table is located in the detail column.

Report Style Group

Specifies the default selected style for the four types of components when creating/inserting them via the report/component creation wizard: table, crosstab, chart, and banded object. However, when inserting them into a table or banded object which can bind style, the default selected style type will be Inherit Style instead of the value specified by this option.

All CSS styles in the <install_root>\style directory are available in the drop-down list.

Only display CSS styles in style list

Specifies whether to display only the CSS styles in the style list.

Restore Defaults

Restores values of all options to be the default ones.
