Specifies a CSS selector to be applied to the object. Enter a valid class name from the CSS file. Data type: String
Others
Auto Expands	Specifies whether the objects in cells of the table will expand to their empty neighbouring cells horizontally when the actual size of the objects is bigger than the cells due to no enough column or page width for auto fit. This property requires that the property Auto Fit for the objects in the table cells is set to true. Data type: Boolean Note: The property does not apply to horizontal tables.
Cache	Specifies whether to cache the dataset for this object in the data buffer so other objects which use the same dataset can share the data rather than perform their own SQL query. Data type: Boolean
Default for Filter	Specifies whether to show the data component as the default component in the Apply to drop-down list of the Filter dialog in Page Report Studio. Data type: Boolean Note: In a page report tab, only one data component’s Default for Filter property can be set to true.
Export to Applet	Specifies whether to include the object when exporting the report to Applet. 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

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
Record Location	Specifies the calculation point for the properties which use formulas. Choose an option from the drop-down list. Default - The values of the properties are calculated in the default location where they are located. Page Header - The values of the properties are calculated in the page header. Page Footer - The values of the properties are calculated in the page footer. Data type: Enumeration
Split Overflow Columns	Specifies whether to display the overflow columns of the table on subsequent pages. 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
Suppress	Specifies whether to show the object in the design area and in the report results. All formulas and calculations will be skipped if the property is set to true.
