Group Panel Properties
This topic describes the properties of a Group Panel object in a banded object.
Designer provides some properties only when you use the object in certain report types. You can get details from the Available For column in the property table.
| Property Name | Available For | Description |
|---|---|---|
| General | ||
| Class Type | Query Page Report | Shows the class type of the object. Read only. |
| Group By | Query Page Report | Shows the group-by field of the object. When this property value is null, the object is grouped based on the whole dataset. Read only. |
| Instance Name | Query Page Report | Shows the instance name of the object. Read only. |
| Others | ||
| Current Block Index | Page Report, Web Report | You can use Current Block Index and Items per Block together to control the data of the object you want to display in continuous page mode. Current Block Index specifies the index of the data block. 0 means the first block index, 1 means the second, and so on. Data type: Integer |
| Expand Detail Data | Page Report | Specifies whether to expand details of the group when users run the report in Page Report Studio, if you add an Expand/Collapse Group web control for the group. Data type: Boolean

| Keep Group Together | Page Report, Web Report | Specifies whether to keep the whole group together in the report. The whole group includes the header, detail, and footer panels of the group, and the subgroups (including their header, detail, and footer panels) of the group. When you set this property to "true", if a page is not blank and it cannot contain the whole group, Designer displays the group from the next page. By keeping the whole group together, you can always view the header of the group together with the group details in the same page, without having any group header display at the bottom of a page.
