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 | |
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 |
Alternating Line Color | |
Include Header and Footer | Specifies whether to apply alternating color to the footer, group headers and group footers of the table. By default, it is true and all table rows except the table header will use alternating color. When it is false, alternating color will be applied to the table detail rows only.
Data type: Boolean |
Pattern List | Specifies the color patterns of the alternating color for the table rows. Select the ellipsis button in the value cell to specify the patterns in the Color List dialog box.
Data type: String |
Show | Specifies whether to enable alternating color for the table rows. Alternating color works as the background color and will overwrite the table rows' own background color. Only when it is set to true, the settings for the properties Include Header and Footer and Pattern List can take effect.
Data type: Boolean To make alternating color work in merged cells in group tables, you also need to set the background color of the merged cells to that of the alternating color. |
Others | |
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:
Data type: Boolean |
Enable Navigation | Specifies whether to enable page navigation on the table. If it is set to true, if the table contains more than one page, a page navigation bar specific for the table will be available under it. You can use the bar to view the desired pages.
When this property is set to true, you can further specify the height and width of the page for the table to display multiple pages, by setting the two properties Navigation Height and Navigation Width. If you later resize the table, the two properties will be reset to the resized values. Data type: Boolean |
Export to CSV | Specifies whether to include the object when exporting the report to CSV.
Data type: Boolean |
Export to Excel | Specifies whether to include the object when exporting the report to Excel.

Data type: Boolean |
Navigation Height | Specifies the height of the page for the table to display multiple pages. Type a numeric value to specify the height. If no value is given here, Logi Report will calculate the table page height. This property takes effect when Enable Navigation is set to true.
Data type: Float |
Navigation Width | Specifies the width of the page for the table to display multiple pages. Type a numeric value to specify the width. If no value is given here, Logi Report will calculate the table page width. This property takes effect when Enable Navigation is set to true.
Data type: Float |
Position | Specifies the position of the object. Available when the object is directly contained in the report body or a tabular cell.
Data type: Enumeration |
Split Overflow Columns | Set this property to true to display a big table with many columns on multiple pages if one page cannot hold all the columns, instead of cutting the overflow columns off - the default behavior.
When the property is true, the table object containing overflow columns on subsequent pages inherits the same Y value in its container, so that it keeps the same number of records as the table in the original page. However, its X value is reset to 0 for both static and absolute positions so as to show as many columns as possible. The height of each table row for overflow columns is the same as the corresponding row height in the original page. Data type: Boolean |
Border | |
Border Color | Specifies the color of the border 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.
