Topic Level: Advanced Report Design

 

With the Print Templates Editor you can create highly dynamic report layouts by using components that expand or contract to accommodate the information they contain.

 

The following dynamic attributes are available for SubReport, Memo, RichText, and Region components:

 

StretchWithParent         

Allows a shape or line to expand or contract based on the change in height of the band or region in which it is contained.

ShiftWithParent

Allows any non-stretching component to move up or down based on the change in height of the band or region in which it is contained

ShiftRelativeTo

Used to specify the vertical positioning which should take place between multiple stretching components in a band.

StopPosition

(for subreports)

Used to set the position on the page where a child type subreport will stop printing. Allows a child type subreport to be confined to a rectangular area of the page.

BottomOffset

Used to create white space between multiple stretching objects which have been linked together using the ShiftRelativeto property.

OverFlowOffset

Controls where a stretching component will begin printing when it overflows onto additional pages. This property can be used to print an object at a different starting position when it overflows onto additional pages.

ReprintOnOverFlow

Used to print non-stretching components again when stretching components are printing on additional pages.
