UDS Column Properties

This topic lists the properties of a Column object in a user defined data source.

Property NameDescription
General
ArraySpecifies whether the column is an array type or not.

Data type: Boolean

Auto Group IndexSpecifies the index of automatic group. The start index is 0, and if do not group by this field automatically, the index is -1.

Data type: Integer

Column IndexSpecifies the column index in the result set.

Data type: Integer

Column Mapping IndexSpecifies the column index in the result set.

Data type: Integer

Column NameSpecifies the name of the column in the raw data source.

Data type: String

CurrencySpecifies 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

DescriptionSpecifies the description of the column.

Data type: String

Display WidthSpecifies the display width of the column. Enter a numeric value to change the width.

Data type: Float

Notes:

  • 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 JReport.
  • 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.
LengthSpecifies the length of the column's value, in bytes.

Data type: Integer

NameSpecifies the mapped name of the column in the Logi JReport catalog.

Data type: String

NullableSpecifies the nullability of the column's value. Choose an option from the drop-down list.

Data type: Enumeration

Number Base Specifies the number base of the column.

Data type: Integer

Path StringSpecifies the path of the column, which is used to identify the column in tree.

Data type: String

PrecisionSpecifies 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

ScaleSpecifies the number of digits to the right of the decimal point for the column's value.

Data type: Integer

SQL TypeSpecifies 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 NumberThe 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

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.
