Table

The properties of a table in a library component are:

Property Name Description
Color
Background Specifies the background color of the object. Choose a color from the drop-down list, enter a hexadecimal RGB value (e.g. 0xff0000), choose a formula that returns a color, or select Custom from the drop-down list to specify the color.

Data type: String

CSS
Class Specifies a CSS class to be applied to the object which is a valid class in the CSS file.

Data type: String
Style The property can be used in two ways.
  • Specifies a style to be applied to the object. Choose a style from the drop-down list which is available when a Style Group has been selected at the report tab level and when there are styles in the Style Group that can be applied to the object, or type in the style name.
  • Specifies a CSS selector to be applied to the object. Enter a valid class name from the CSS file.

Data type: String
Others
Auto Expands Specifies whether the objects in cells of the table will expand to their empty neighbouring cells horizontally when the actual size of the objects is bigger than the cells due to no enough column or page width for auto fit. This property requires that the property Auto Fit for the objects in the table cells is set to true.

Data type: Boolean

Note: The property does not apply to horizontal tables.
Invisible Specifies whether to show the object in the design area and in the report results. All formulas and calculations will still be performed if the property is set to true.

Data type: Boolean

Navigation Height Specifies the height of the page for the table to display multiple pages. Enter a numeric value to specify the height. If no value is given here, JReport will calculate the table page height at run time.

Data type: Float
Navigation Width Specifies the width of the page for the table to display multiple pages. Enter a numeric value to specify the width. If no value is given here, JReport will calculate the table page width at run time.

Data type: Float
Record Location Specifies the calculation point for the properties which use formulas. Choose an option from the drop-down list.
  • Default - The values of the properties are calculated in the default location where they are located.
  • Page Header - The values of the properties are calculated in the page header.
  • Page Footer - The values of the properties are calculated in the page footer.

Data type: Enumeration

Suppress Specifies whether to show the object in the design area and in the report results. All formulas and calculations will be skipped if the property is set to true.

Data type: Boolean

Note: When both the Invisible and Suppress properties of an object are set to true, Suppress has the higher priority.
Suppress When No Records Specifies whether to display the object in the report results when no record is returned to its parent data container.

Data type: Boolean
Border
Border Color Specifies the color of the border of the object. Choose a color from the drop-down list, enter a hexadecimal RGB value (0xCCAA00), choose a formula that returns a color, or select Custom from the drop-down list to specify the color.

Data type: String

Border Thickness Specifies the width of the border in inches or centimeters. Enter a numeric value to change the thickness.

Data type: Float

Bottom Line Specifies the line style of the bottom border of the object. Choose a style from the drop-down list.

Data type: Enumeration

Left Line Specifies the line style of the left border of the object. Choose a style from the drop-down list.

Data type: Enumeration

Right Line Specifies the line style of the right border of the object. Choose a style from the drop-down list.

Except for table group, other child objects (table header row, table footer row, table column, table cell, table group header row, table group footer row and table detail row) of a table in a library component are the same as those in a web report.

Table group

The properties of a table group in a library component are:

Property Name Description
Others
Current Block Index The two properties, Current Block Index and Items per Block, work together to control the data of the object to be displayed in continuous page mode.

Current Block Index specifies the index of the data block that will be displayed. 0 means the first block index, and 1 the second, and so on.

Data type: Integer

Expand Detail Data Specifies whether to expand the groups to show the details when the report is opened in JDashboard. Only works in continuous page mode.

Data type: Boolean
