Parameter Control Properties

This topic describes the properties of a Parameter Control object.

Property NameDescription
General
Display NameSpecifies the display name of the object.

Data type: String

Instance NameShows the instance name of the object. This property is read only.
Geometry
HeightSpecifies the height of the object, in inches. Type a numeric value to change the height.

Data type: Float

WidthSpecifies the width of the object, in inches. Type a numeric value to change the width.

Data type: Float

XSpecifies the horizontal coordinate of the top left corner of the object, relative to its parent container. This property is unavailable if the Position property is set to static. Type a numeric value to change the position in inches.

Data type: Float

YSpecifies the vertical coordinate of the top left corner of the object, relative to its parent container. This property is unavailable if the Position property is set to static. Type a numeric value to change the position in inches.

Data type: Float

Color
BackgroundSpecifies the background color of the object. Choose a color from the drop-down list or select Custom to define a color in the Color Picker dialog box. You can also type a hexadecimal RGB value (for example, 0xff0000) to specify a color.

Data type: String

ForegroundSpecifies the foreground color of the object. Choose a color from the drop-down list or select Custom to define a color in the Color Picker dialog box. You can also type a hexadecimal RGB value (for example, 0xff0000) to specify a color.

Data type: String

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 parameter added in the object is of the Number data type.

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

Data type: Boolean

BoldSpecifies whether to make the text bold.

Data type: Boolean

Font FaceSpecifies the font of the text. Choose an option from the drop-down list.

Data type: Enumeration

Font SizeSpecifies the font size of the text. Type an integer value to change the size.

Data type: Integer

FormatSpecifies the display format of the text in the report result. It varies with data type and can be manually defined.

Data type: String

Note icon

  • 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.
Horizontal AlignmentSpecifies the horizontal justification of the text in the object. Choose an option from the drop-down list.

Data type: Enumeration

ItalicSpecifies whether to make the text italic.

Data type: Boolean

UnderlineSpecifies whether to underline the text.

Others
Export as Text Specifies whether to export the parameter control as text. If you do not enable this option, Logi Report will export the parameter control as an image.

When you enable this option, depending on the properties of the parameter bound in the parameter control, Logi Report will export the parameter control as follows:

  • Logi Report will export the selected values or text of the parameter as text while it will not export the icon or button for specifying the parameter value.
  • If the parameter in the parameter control is of Boolean type, Logi Report displays it as a check box in the parameter control. Then when you select the check box, Logi Report will export it as Checkmark, or as Checkbox if you do not select the check box.

Data Type: Boolean

Export to CSVSpecifies whether to include the object when exporting the report to CSV.
