Data type: String |

Data type: Boolean |
| On New Page | Specifies whether the panel starts on a new page. This property is only applied if the report has page layout enabled. The default is false which means the panel starts on a new page only if the previous page is filled.
Data type: Boolean |
| Record Location | Specifies the calculation point for the properties of the object which are controlled by formulas. Choose an option from the drop-down list.
Data type: Enumeration |
| Remove Blank Row | Specifies whether to remove blank rows in the panel in the exported Excel file.
Data type: Boolean |

Data type: Boolean |
| Repeat in Detail Panel | Specifies whether to make the objects in the panel repeated in the detail panel in the exported Excel file.
Data type: Boolean |
| Suppress | Specifies whether to show the object in the report. All formulas and calculations will be skipped if the property is set to true. You can also use a formula to dynamically control whether or not to show the object.
Data type: Boolean Note: When both the Invisible and Suppress properties of an object are set to true, Suppress has the higher priority. |
| Suppress Blank Panel | Specifies whether a panel with no data is included in the report. The default is false which means an empty panel is shown.
Data type: Boolean |
| Suppress When No Records | Specifies whether to display the object in the report result when no record is returned to its parent data component.
Data type: Boolean |
| Underlay | Specifies whether the panel will be layered beneath the next panel in the banded object. A panel layered beneath a subsequent panel can be used to contain a background picture or watermark. Banded page header, page footer, or group footer panels cannot be layered. The default is false which means that the panel is not layered beneath the next panel.
Data type: Boolean |
Repeat
The default value for Repeat is false. For one detail panel which spans a large space vertically to be shown in several pages, Logi JReport supports the Repeat property if you want to see the group header information in each page. When the Repeat property is set true and group headers are visible, the group headers will duplicate on every page.
Notes:
- When a page split occurs in the bottom blank part of the detail panel (or margins in the detail panel) and the Cross Page property in the detail panel is set true, the output will be: repeated group header + a slice of blank detail panel + group footer. It appears as though the repeated group headers are followed only by group footers without any detail panel. In order to solve this problem, you can resize the detail panel.
- If the Repeat property is set true in both outer group header and inner group header, Logi JReport will treat the two group headers as a completely repeated object.
- If the outer and inner group headers are set to be one completely repeated object, then when the page can only hold the group headers or has no enough space for the group headers, both outer and inner group headers will not be duplicated.
