Toolbox

This contains report items or objects that can be added to the template.

Report items are the base element that provides visual on the template. These can be added and customized to enhance the look and feel of the LSR template. LSR Designer has the following report items:

Icon Function

Label

Displays static block of text on the template. This element is used in grids and tables for adding short descriptions. Since label element displays static text, no data set should be associated with a label.

Text

Displays a multi-block of text defined within the report, which can contain embedded formatting.

Dynamic Text

Displays a multi-block of text that can be formatted as part of the template design. A block of text can be in plain text or HTML format.

To provide a user-friendly name to a dynamic text, property displayName is used.

Image

Displays graphics or images in various formats (JPEG, GIF, PNG) as logos, product images and icons. The image can come from different possible sources, be resized or clipped to fit the report template.

Grid

Represents a grid or block that are divided into rows and columns. Each cell in the grid can contain a single report item.

Table

Displays a data set in tabular layout.

Chart

Displays graphical representation of data or analysis among data sets.

LSR Designer opens a chart builder to help you select a chart type and assign source data on X and Y data axis to create a graph or chart. These charts can be a bar graph, a line graph, or a pie chart.
