Color

Choose a color from the drop-down list or select Custom to customize a color, or type a hexadecimal RGB value (for example, 0xff0000) to specify a color. For page report, you can also use a formula or edit an expression that returns a color.

Data type: String

CSS
ClassPage Report, Web Report, Library ComponentSpecifies the name of the Class Selector to apply to the object, which you define in the CSS file of the style the report applies.

For example, if you define the CSS file as follows:

@charset "GBK";
TextField {Background: #ff0000}
/*Style=LabelX*/
TextField[Style="LabelX"]{Background: #0000FF}
/*ID=W*/
TextField#W{Background: #FFFF00}
/*class=C*/
TextField.C{Background: #00FFFF}

To apply the Class Selector in the file to the object, type C in the value cell.

Data type: String

StylePage Report, Web Report, Library ComponentSpecifies the style you want to apply to the object. You can specify the style in two ways:
  • Type the style which should be an Attribute Selector whose attribute is "style" in the CSS file of the style the report applies. For example, to apply the style in the preceding sample CSS file to the object, type LabelX in the value cell.
  • Choose a style from the drop-down list if you have specified the Style Group property for the report tab or web report, and there are styles in the style group that are applicable to the object.

On New PagePage Report, Web Report, Library ComponentSpecifies whether to start the row on a new page in the report.

This property cannot take effect if you disable Page Layout for the report, meaning, the report is in continuous page mode.

Data type: Boolean

Note icon If you specify to start the group header row on a new page, each group displays from a new page; however, this also means you get no detail records on the first page because the detail row starts from the second page. If you want to start each group on a new page and at the same time display the detail records on the first page, you can use the Fill Whole Page property of the group footer row.

  • page header
    Select to calculate values of the properties in the banded page header panel.

RepeatPage Report, Web Report, Library ComponentSpecifies whether to display the group header on every page in the report. If the details of a group span a large space vertically to show on several pages, you can set this property to "true" to display the group header information on each page.

Data type: Boolean

Note icon If you set Repeat to "true" for both the outer and inner group headers, Logi Report Engine treats the two group headers as a completely repeated object; in this case, when the page can only hold the group headers or has no enough space for the group headers, it does not duplicate either of the group headers.
