General
Report element groups can be used to group multiple Elements and apply common settings.
Example: If you have multiple elements requiring the same preparation Actions or the same condition, you can put them into the same group and configure the preparation actions and/or condition there instead of configuring it for every element individually.
Properties
Every element group has the following properties:
Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of the element group. This name will be displayed in the tree hierarchy of the content explorer of the Report Designer. |
| Condition | An optional condition Expression; it will be applied to all member Elements in addition to their own conditions. |
| Preparation Actions | A list of Actions that will be applied to all member Elements in addition to their own preparation actions. Preparation actions of the element group will be executed before the preparation actions of member elements. |
Managing Element Groups
You can create new element groups in the content explorer of the Report Designer by right-clicking the ELEMENTS node and choosing New Element Group. You can add member Elements to the group in two ways:
- Right-click the report element group entry in the content explorer and select the type of element to create.
- Drag an existing report element and drop it on the element group.
In order to remove a member element from the element group you can drag the member element and drop it on the ELEMENTS folder of the content explorer.
