Study Notes
Report Component Properties
- Report components are individual elements within a report, used for displaying, organizing, and presenting data to the user.
- Properties control component appearance, behavior, and interaction with data. Properties configure every aspect of the object including formatting, relative/absolute position, and behavior. This includes report page/dashboard canvas itself.
Common Report Components and Properties
-
Text Box:
- Displays static or dynamic text.
- Properties: Text content, font (typeface, size, style, color), alignment (left, center, right), visibility (conditional), border, padding/margin, and data expressions.
-
Table/Matrix:
- Displays tabular data.
- Properties: Data source, columns/rows (structure), sorting (ascending/descending), column width, visibility (conditional), borders, grouping, and data expressions.
-
Chart:
- Visual representation of data (e.g., bar, pie, line).
- Properties: Data source, chart type (e.g., bar, pie, line, area), series, axes (labels, ranges, intervals), title, legend, data labels, color scheme, and data expressions.
-
Image:
- Displays graphics.
- Properties: Source (file, URL, embedded), sizing (stretch, scale, original), visibility (conditional), padding, border, alignment (left, right, center), and data expressions.
-
Line/Rectangle:
- Adds shapes for separation/visual structure.
- Properties: Shape type, size/position (x, y coordinates), border, color, thickness, visibility (conditional), and data expressions.
-
Group:
- Organizes data logically, based on fields or categories.
- Properties: Grouping expression, group header/footer, sorting, visibility (expand/collapse).
-
Page Header/Footer:
- Appears on every report page.
- Properties: Content (text, images, page numbers), visibility (conditional), alignment (left, center, right), size (height, width), and data expressions.
-
Chart/Gauge:
- Specialized visualizations, performance indicators.
- Properties: start/end values, needle settings, target values, and data expressions.
Common Property Categories
- Appearance: Font, color, border, background, size, alignment.
- Data-Related: Data source, binding, expressions, filtering, sorting, grouping.
- Behavioral: Visibility, interactivity (e.g., drill-through), actions, dynamic content (e.g. hover effects, toggling).
- Layout: Positioning (relative/absolute), spacing, size (height, width).
- Accessibility: Conditional formatting, export settings, accessibility labels.
Summary
- Understanding component properties is crucial for customizing report design and improving the user experience.
- Properties control the display, behavior, and data interaction of components.
- Every aspect of a report component, including the report page itself, can be customized.
- The usage of expressions enables dynamic responses to the data, providing greater customizability.
