General Tab Properties
This tab shows some general information of the filter control.
Name
Specifies the name of the filter control.
Show NLS Value
Select this option to show the translated name for the display name of the object in the Name text box if you have enabled the NLS feature and translated it.
If you select this option, it takes effect only when you have not modified the display name of the object.
Format
Specifies the value format of the field added in the filter control.
Auto Scale in Number
Specifies whether 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 value auto means that the setting follows that of the parent data container. When you set the property to true, the specified format will apply to the integer part of the values after being scaled; but if the specified format conflicts with the Number data type, Logi Report will ignore the Auto Scale in Number setting.
