Table/View/Synonym Column Properties

This topic lists the properties of a Column object in a table/view/synonym.

Property Name	Description
General
Array	Specifies whether the column is an array type or not. Data type: Boolean
Column Name	Specifies the name of the column in the raw database. Not available for table columns in MongoDB/JSON/Elasticsearch connection. Data type: String
Column Type	Displays the type of the column. This property is read only and available only for table columns in MongoDB/JSON/Elasticsearch connection.
Currency	Specifies whether to control the SQL type of formulas or summaries in which the BigDecimal type fields are imported. true - The formula or summary which is built with the BigDecimal type field will be BigDecimal type, and its SQL Type value will be set to 3. false - The normal data type will be used for the formula or summary. Data type: Boolean
Description	Specifies the description of the column. Data type: String
Display Width	Specifies the display width of the column. Type a numeric value to change the width. Data type: Float If the Display Width value of a column is not set in the Catalog Manager, the column will be inserted in a report with the default width defined by Logi Report. Assume that you have set the Display Width of a column, and used the column while creating a new component with the report wizard, its width may be adjusted according to the paper size.
Element Name	For table columns in MongoDB connection: Specifies the mapped element name in a document. If the column is mapped from an element of an embedded document element, the name will be a path from the embedded document element. For 'PrimaryKey' and 'ForeignKey' columns, it is blank. '\' is used as an escaped char. If the '.' and '\' are used in the element name, it will be recorded as '\.' and '\\'. For table columns in JSON/Elasticsearch connection: Displays the mapped element name in JSON metadata. For the columns Primary Key and Foreign Key, it is blank. This property is read only. Data type: String
Name	Specifies the mapped name of the column in the catalog. Data type: String
Nullable	Displays the nullability of the column's value. This property is read only.
Precision	Specifies the precision of the column's value. The default value comes from data source metadata and it specifies the column's largest number of digits. The larger the precision is, the more memory it might take, however, the more accurate values you will get. Data type: Integer
Scale	Specifies the number of digits to the right of the decimal point for the column's value. Data type: Integer
SQL Type	Specifies the SQL type of the column defined in Java. Choose an option from the drop-down list. Data type: Integer
Text Format
Auto Fit	Specifies whether to adjust the width and height of the column according to the contents. Data type: Boolean
Auto Scale in Number	The property is available when the column is of the Number data type. It specifies whether to automatically scale the column values that fall into the two ranges: When 1000 <= value < 10^15, the following quantity unit symbols of the International System of Units are used 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, scientific notation is used to scale values. The option "auto" means that the property setting follows that of the parent data container when the column is added in a report. Data type: Boolean
Bold	Specifies whether to make the text bold. Data type: Boolean
Font Face	Specifies the font of the text. Choose an option from the drop-down list. Data type: Enumeration
Font Size	Specifies the font size of the text. Type an integer value to change the size. Data type: Integer
Format	Specifies the display format of the column's value. The format varies with the column's data type and can be defined manually. Data type: String
Horizontal Alignment	Specifies the horizontal justification of the text in the column. Choose an option from the drop-down list. Data type: Enumeration
Italic	Specifies whether to make the text italic. Data type: Boolean
Strikethrough	Specifies whether to add a strikethrough line to the text. Data type: Boolean
Underline	Specifies whether to underline the text. Data type: Boolean

Word Wrap	Specifies whether to wrap the text to the width. Data type: Boolean
Padding
Bottom Padding	Specifies the space between the text and the bottom border of the column. Type a numeric value to change the padding. Data type: Float
Left Padding	Specifies the space between the text and the left border of the column. Type a numeric value to change the padding. Data type: Float
Right Padding	Specifies the space between the text and the right border of the column. Type a numeric value to change the padding. Data type: Float
Top Padding	Specifies the space between the text and the top border of the column. Type a numeric value to change the padding. Data type: Float
Geometry
Height	Specifies the height of the column, which takes effect when the column is inserted into a report. By default, no value is specified to the property, which means a height will be assigned to the column by Logi Report automatically. Type a numeric value to change the height. Data type: Float
Width	Specifies the width of the column, which takes effect when the column is inserted into a report. By default, no value is specified to the property, which means a height will be assigned to the column by Logi Report automatically. Type a numeric value to change the width. Data type: Float
Color
Background	Specifies the background color of the column. Choose a color from the drop-down list or select Custom to customize a color. You can also type a hexadecimal RGB value (for example, 0xff0000) to specify a color. Data type: String
