Repeat Aggregate
Select true to repeat the crosstab for different aggregate fields. For more information, see Repeat Aggregate in the Logi Report Designer Guide.
Aggregate
Specify the layout of the aggregate fields.
- Vertical Layout
Select to arrange the aggregate fields vertically.- Number of Rows
Specify the number of rows to hold the aggregate fields in the crosstab. By default, it is -1 which means that Server places each aggregate field in a row so that the aggregate fields are in one column vertically. Server treats a number equal to or larger than the number of aggregate fields in the crosstab as -1. If you set the number of rows (3 for example) less than the number of aggregate fields (6 for example), there will be 3 rows to hold the 6 fields with each row containing 2 fields.
- Number of Rows
- Horizontal Layout
Select to arrange the aggregate fields horizontally. When you have multiple aggregate fields in the crosstab, using horizontal layout can make the report more readable.- Number of Columns
Specify the number of columns to hold the aggregate fields in the crosstab. By default, it is -1 which means that Server places each aggregate field in a column so that the aggregate fields are in one row horizontally. Server treats a number equal to or larger than the number of aggregate fields in the crosstab as -1. If you set the number of columns (3 for example) less than the number of aggregate fields (6 for example), there will be 3 columns to hold the 6 fields with each column containing 2 fields.
- Number of Columns
Others Tab Properties
Configure some miscellaneous settings.
Auto Scale in Number
Select true if you want to automatically scale the values that are of the Number data type when the values fall into the two ranges:- When 1000 <= value < 10^15, Logi Report uses 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 uses scientific notation to scale the values.
Current Row Block Index
Specify the vertical index of the data block. 0 means the first block index, 1 the second, and so on.
Current Column Block Index
Specify the horizontal index of the data block. 0 means the first block index, 1 the second, and so on.
Items per Row Block
Specify the number of rows in each data block.
Items per Column Block
Specify the number of columns in each data block.
The preceding four properties work together to control the data of the crosstab to display in the continuous page mode: Current Row Block Index, Current Column Block Index, Items per Row Block, and Items per Column Block.
