Special Field Properties

Property Name	Description
General
Display Name	Specifies the display name of the object. Data type: String
Instance Name	Shows the instance name of the object. This property is read only.
Geometry
Height	Specifies the height of the object, in inches. Type a numeric value to change the height. Data type: Float
Width	Specifies the width of the object, in inches. Type a numeric value to change the width. Data type: Float
X	Specifies the horizontal coordinate of the upper-left corner of the object, relative to its parent container. This property is unavailable if the Position property is set to static. Type a numeric value to change the position in inches. Data type: Float
Y	Specifies the vertical coordinate of the upper-left corner of the object, relative to its parent container. This property is unavailable if the Position property is set to static. Type a numeric value to change the position in inches. Data type: Float
Color
Background	Specifies the background color of the object. Choose a color from the drop-down list or select Custom to define a color in the Color Picker dialog box. You can also type a hexadecimal RGB value (for example, 0xff0000) to specify a color. Data type: String
Foreground	Specifies the foreground color of the object. Choose a color from the drop-down list or select Custom to define a color in the Color Picker dialog box. You can also type a hexadecimal RGB value (for example, 0xff0000) to specify a color. Data type: String
Text Format
Auto Fit	Specifies whether to adjust the width and height of the object according to the contents. Data type: Boolean
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 property is available when the object is of the Number data type. The value auto means that the setting follows that of the parent data container. Data type: Boolean

Font Face	Specifies the font of the text. Choose an option from the drop-down list. Data type: Enumeration
Font Size	Specifies the font size of the text. Type an integer value to change the size. Data type: Integer
Format	Specifies the display format of the text in the report result. It varies with data type and can be manually defined. Data type: String For the BigDecimal data type, to avoid precision loss, you should type a prefix JRD when setting the Format property value. For the Number data type and when the Auto Scale in Number property is true, the Format property applies to the integer part of the values after being scaled, but if the specified format conflicts with the Auto Scale in Number property, for example, the values display in percentage, then Server ignores the Auto Scale in Number property.

Ignore HTML Tag	Specifies whether or not to ignore the HTML tag elements that are included in the text of the object at runtime and in the HTML output of the report. true - Logi Report Engine does not parse the HTML tag elements so they display exactly as what they are. false - Logi Report Engine transfers the HTML tag elements to the web browser so they are translated into HTML by the web browser. Note: The property Convert HTML Tag has higher priority than Ignore HTML Tag. Data type: Boolean
Italic	Specifies whether to make the text italic. Data type: Boolean
Strikethrough	Specifies whether to add a strikethrough line to the text. Data type: Boolean

Position	Specifies the position of the object. Choose an option from the drop-down list. static - The object is positioned at the location in which it is inserted. If selected, the X, Y and other position-related properties will be hidden or disabled. The position of the object is affected by preceding objects in the same container. absolute - The object will be located at the position specified by dragging and dropping or by setting its X and Y property values. The position of the object is not affected by preceding objects in the same container. Data type: Enumeration This property only affects objects with a parent container that is the report body, a table cell, or a tabular cell.
