Filter Control Properties
You can use the Filter Control Properties dialog box to edit the properties of a filter control. This topic describes the properties in the dialog box.
This topic contains the following sections:
OK
Select to apply any changes you made here and close the dialog box.
Cancel
Select to close the dialog box without saving any changes.
Help

General Tab Properties
You can specify the general information of the filter control.

Show NLS Value
Select to show the translated name for the display name of the object in the Name text box if you have enabled the NLS feature and translated it, and when you have not modified the display name of the object.
Format
Specify the field value format in the filter control.
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.
The value auto means that the setting follows that of the parent data container. When you set the property to true, the specified format will apply to the integer part of the values after being scaled. If the specified format conflicts with the Number data type, Logi Report will ignore the Auto Scale in Number setting.
