Layout Components

Overview

A layout component is used to arrange and layout other components in a report. They can be used to arrange items in rows, columns, grids and more. See below for a simple description of each layout component type.

A list of all available layout components is included below:

Component Types

Header Component

Defines an area at the top of each page in a report. A Header can optionally be displayed on all pages, only on the first page, or on each page after the first.

Defines an area at the bottom of each page in a report. Just as the Header, you have complete control over where the Footer is shown in a report.

Column Component

Arranges components vertically, each one directly below the previous on the page.

Row Component

Arranges components horizontally across a page. All Components in a row must fit inside the width of the page.

Inline Component

Arranges components horizontally across a page. As an inline component reaches the width of the page, it will drop down and start a new row directly below the first.

Grid Component

Gives the ability to define a grid with rows and columns. Each component in the grid can be placed at a specific column/row and may optionally span across columns/rows.

Group Component (DEPRECATED)

Repeats a set of components according to the number of data elements provided at time of render.

SubReport Component

Creates a sub report with its own repeating header and footer.
