This topic describes the properties of an Imported APE Column object in a catalog.

Property NameDescription
General
ArraySpecifies whether the column is an array type.

Data type: Boolean

Column IndexSpecifies the column index in the result set.

Data type: Integer

Column NameSpecifies the name of the column in the MongoDB connection. Designer displays the qualified name like Nations.Cities.CityName here. The qualified path starts from the name of the top level document to the last element name of the column, excluding the collection name.

Data type: String

CurrencySpecifies whether to control the SQL type of the formulas and summaries which reference the column if the column is of the BigDecimal type.
  • true
    Select to apply the BigDecimal type to the formulas and summaries and set their SQL Type to 3.
  • false
    Select to apply the normal data type to the formulas and summaries.

Data type: Boolean

DescriptionSpecifies the description of the object.

Data type: String

Display WidthSpecifies the display width of the object, which takes effect when you insert the object into reports. Type a numeric value to change the width. If you do not set the display width, Designer applies a default width to it automatically.

Data type: Float

Note icon After you set the Display Width property of an object and use the object while creating a data component with wizard, Designer may adjust its width according to the paper size.

NameSpecifies the mapped name of the object in the catalog.

Data type: String

NullableSpecifies the nullability for the values of the object. Choose an option from the drop-down list.
  • true
    Select to indicate the object supports null values.
  • false
    Select to indicate the values of the object cannot be null.
  • unknown
    Select to indicate whether the values of the object can be null or not is unknown.

Data type: Enumeration

PrecisionSpecifies the precision for the values of the object. The default precision comes from data source metadata and defines the object's largest number of digits. The larger the precision is, the more memory it might take; however, the more accurate values you can get.

Data type: Integer

ScaleSpecifies the number of digits to the right of the decimal point for the values of the object.

Data type: Integer

SQL TypeSpecifies the SQL type of the object defined in Java. Choose an option from the drop-down list.

Data type: Integer

Text Format
Auto Fit Specifies whether to automatically adjust the width and height of the object according to its content.

Data type: Boolean

Auto Scale in NumberDesigner displays this property when the object is Number data type. You can use it to specify whether to automatically scale values of the object that fall into the two ranges:
  • When 1000 <= value < 10^15, Logi Report Engine applies 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 Engine uses scientific notation to scale the values.

The option "auto" means that the property setting follows that of the parent data component when you use the object in a report.

Data type: Boolean

BoldSpecifies whether to apply bold formatting to the text in the object.

Data type: Boolean

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