Text Format
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 property is available when the field added in the object is of the Number data type.

The value auto means that the setting follows that of the parent data container.

  • For the BigDecimal data type, to avoid precision loss, you should type a prefix JRD when setting the Format property value.
  • For the Number data type and when the Auto Scale in Number property is true, the Format property applies to the integer part of the values after being scaled, but if the specified format conflicts with the Auto Scale in Number property, for example, the values display in percentage, then Server ignores the Auto Scale in Number property.
