Report Size

Reports can be viewed on a variety of devices, with different screen sizes and resolutions. To design reports that remain usable, and attractive, when viewed on different devices can involve:

  • Specifying minimum and preferred report dimensions
  • Specifying that rows and columns can shrink or grow; optionally within defined limits.

See Rows.

To specify the size of a report:

  1. In Design Mode or View Mode, select Format > Report Size.
    Or, click any of the dimensions in the Report Size tab of the Properties pane.

    The Report Size dialog is displayed.

  2. As required, specify the minimum and preferred heights and widths.
    The arrows at the right of the dialog populate the fields with the current dimensions of the report.
  3. Click OK.
    To remove preferred and minimum report dimensions, delete the values from the fields and click OK.

    Alternatively, in Design Mode, you can enter the size values directly in the property pane.
