Display Name
When you run a Report, the Display Name value is displayed as the title or heading for data displayed in Columns. The default values for Display Name is derived from the Column name as per the Report Schema. Updating the Display Name value will update the value of Column Headings in your Report Design. There may be several reasons which could include your organisation's naming standards or abbreviating the title.
Legend
Legends can displayed when the Report being displayed is graphical. Similar to the Display Name function, updating this value updates the value for the Column displayed in the legend of a graphical report
Column Size
You can allow the application to determine the Best Fit for the Column, which is the default option, in conjunction with other columns on the report. If the Best Fit option is de-selected, you can specify the Width of the Column in pixels. This option gives you more control over how your Report Design is laid out.
Display Totals
The Display Totals option is available when the Column selected is a numeric value. By default, the Display Totals value is selected. Deselect the Display Totals option if you do not want to display the total of a selected Column in your report.
Column Span
If you working with a multi-line report, which is accomplished by inserting a New Line column into your report, you can use the Column Span option. The Column Span option allows you the specify the number of Columns, above or below this one, that this Column will span across.
Alignment
You have the option of specifying Horizontal and Vertical alignment of text is a column.
Horizontal Alignment: Options for specifying Horizontal are Left, Centre and Right. Most text displayed in reports will be aligned to the left. However, you may what to specify right alignment when selecting Columns which have numeric and date values.
Vertical Alignment: Options for specifying Vertical alignment are Middle, Top and Bottom. By the default, the Middle option is selected, however, if you values in your report wrap within columns, you may want to use the Top or Bottom alignment options for displaying values in your report.
Group
The Grouping option allows you to group data to three levels in your report by the Selected Group Columns. Grouped Columns are always sorted. For example, if you want to group Planned Work by Resource, you would select the Group function on the selected Resource Column.
When grouping on more than one column in your report, the primary group is always the first group Column that appears in your Column List in the Report Designer. The secondary group will then be the next grouped Column and the tertiary group will the third grouped Column.
Sort
The sorting option allows you to select selected Columns, including grouped Columns in either Ascending or Descending order. When sorting on more than one column in a report, the primary sort is always the first sort Column that appears in your Column List in the Report Designer. The secondary sort will then be the next sorted Column and the tertiary sorted will the third sorted Column.
Display in Group
The Display in Group option allow you to select a column which will be displayed with a selected Group Column. For example, if you are grouping a report on Resources, you may want to group on Resource ID instead of Resource Name. Grouping on Resource Name could be an issue if more than one Resource in your organisation shares the same name. Grouping by Resource ID ensures that each Resource is unique. The problem with this is that Resource ID on its own can meaningless. Adding the Resource Name to be Displayed the Group will help give your grouping more definition.
