Data field
A datafield displays data from a table or query. This can be numerical data,
characters or multiple lines of text.
The following options are available:
|
Data field
|
Select the data field you want to print. |
| Alignment
|
The report element's text can be aligned left, right or centered. |
| Format
|
Numerical data fields can be formatted by setting a format definition. |
| Font
|
Selects the font for the report element |
| Color
|
Defines the background color for the report element (the font color can be set
with the "Font" button). |
| Automatic word-wrap
|
Set this option if you want the text to wrap to the next line if it does not
fit into the given width (similar to a word processor software). |
| Transparent
|
The report element's background will not be printed if this option is
activated. This way you can placije text on top of an image for example, without hiding
the image under a white box with text. |
| Autosize width
|
This option resizes the report element to make room for its complete text. If
"Autosize" is not set and the text is larger than the element size then text
will be clipped off. |
| Autostretch height
|
This option is for report elements with multiple lines, e.g. memo fields. The
height of the elements will be stretched to make room for all lines. If needed,
the report band will be stretched too. |
| Suppress printing of repeated
value
|
Activate this option if you do not want to print data fields with the same
values repeatedly. The report engine will only print the data field for the first
data record, and leave all following prints of this data field empty if the
field's content hasn't changed. |
| Suppress printing if value of datafield is 0
|
This option suppresses printing of numerical fields if their value equals zero. |
| Reprint on new page
|
If you have activated "Suppress printing of repeated values", you can use this
option to reprint a field if a new page starts, even if it would be suppressed
normally because of equal values. |
| Reprint on new group
|
Same as "Reprint on new page" but for groups. |
