Properties

Server displays the properties of the format you select. If the formats listed in the Format box cannot meet your requirement, define the format in the Properties text box, and then select Add to add it as the format of the specified category.

Auto Scale in Number

Select true if you want to automatically scale the values that are of the Number data type when the values fall into the two ranges:

• When 1000 <= value < 10^15, Logi Report uses the following quantity unit symbols of the International System of Units to scale the values: K (10^3), M (10^6), G (10^9), and T (10^12).
• When 0 < value < 0.001 or value >= 10^15, Logi Report uses scientific notation to scale the values.

The default value auto means that the setting follows that of the chart platform. When you set the property to true, the specified format will apply to the integer part of the values after being scaled. If the specified format conflicts with the Number data type, Logi Report will ignore the Auto Scale in Number setting.
