Selecting a report, a layout, or fields

Initially the report is selected, and the Properties panel shows the report properties. To select the report when something else is selected, click the editor area, outside of a layout.

You can work with fields in these ways:

Click a field, to select it.
To add a field to the current selection, hold down Ctrl and click the additional field.
To remove a field from the selection, hold down Ctrl and click that field.
When a field is selected, hold down Shift and click inside a layout. This expands the selection to include all fields within the virtual box drawn from the selected field and the mouse pointer.
To select all fields in a selected layout, click SELECT ALL in the Properties panel header of the layout.

To select a layout, click its name in the Layouts panel. Alternatively, click an empty area inside the layout in the main designer panel. To select multiple layouts, hold down Ctrl and click the additional layout.
