Expandable Region | The sub-elements of the element are initially not visible in the preview, however they can be expanded interactively. Requirement: subordinated elements must be defined. | True False | Yes No | ||
Fixed size (not available for sub-tables) | The "Fixed height" property lets you specify that the size of the table is not to be adjusted automatically when it has fewer data lines than the available space in the table object, after the field names are replaced with content. If the property is disabled, the end of the table moves upwards automatically. If a footer line is defined, "fixed size" will cause it to be separated from the rest of the table by a space of at least one line. This space accommodates the frame as defined in the data line definition 1. Otherwise, the footer line will appear immediately below the table. Please consider that any objects interlinked with the table can only adjust their position automatically to correspond with changes in the table size if "fixed size" is disabled. | True False Formula | Yes No Formula wizard | ||
| Separators fixed | If this property is enabled, the separators are also drawn through the empty area of the table between the last data line and the footer line. If the option is disabled, the separators are only drawn as far as the last data line. This property is only available with "fixed size" tables. | True False Formula | Yes No Formula wizard | |
Column Count | Number of columns in the container. Note: the "LL.CurrentTableColumn" field returns the index of the current column. | 1 2 3 4 5 Formula | 1-column 2-column 3-column 4-column 5-column Formula wizard | ||
| Distance | Columns distance. | Number Formula | Formula wizard | |
| Fill Horizontally | The columns are filled in the horizontal direction. | True False | Yes No | |
| Column Break Condition | If "True" while printing a data line, a column break is triggered. | True False Formula | Yes No Formula wizard | |
| Column Break before | Selects if a column break is required before this object is printed. | True False Formula | Yes No Formula wizard | |
Pagebreak condition | With this property, you can specify a condition that causes a page break after a data line as soon as the condition is met. If "Pagebreak condition" is set to “True”, a page break will be triggered after each line. “False” specifies that a page break is only to be triggered when necessary. | True False Formula | Yes No Formula wizard | ||
Data lines |
|
|
| ||
| Force sums | Sum variables are calculated even if you suppress data lines. | True False Formula | Yes No Formula wizard | |
| Keep data together | The single records of a table including possible existing sub tables will not be separated if possible. | 0 1 2 | No Data Lines and Sub Tables Data lines, Sub tables, Footer Line and Group Footer. | |
| Keep line definitions together | In the event of a page break, data lines are kept together as far as possible, i.e. they are printed together on the next page. | True False Formula | Yes No Formula wizard | |
| Suppress data lines | When you enable the "Suppress Data Lines " object property in tables, all data lines are completely suppressed. This option is particularly useful in combination with the "Force Sums" option. The latter option specifies that totals are also calculated when a data line is not printed. By combining both options and using groups and sum variables, you can print more interesting statistics. | True False Formula | Yes No Formula wizard | |
| Zebra pattern | The "Zebra pattern" option in the "Data line" field specifies whether data lines are to have alternating background colors. This can improve readability, especially with large tables. |
