Total Sections
There are three tabs on this form:
Main Tab
Name
This defaults the section name, which you can change by entering a new name and clicking the Save icon. You can also give the section a name that describes its purpose. You can change the database name to something that is easier to recognise and describes the collection in common terms, such as All Customers or All Inventory Items.
Content
This is only enabled for repeating sections. It displays the collection of the section.
Type Tab
This section displays the type of object that is displayed for the collection. This section displays Company for sections that do not contain collections. For example, if the collection is myARControl:allCustomersCode, the type is containing Customer.
Visibility
These options determine when and how the field appears on the report:
- Always - The field always appears on the report.
- Never - The field to never appears on the report.
- Based on a condition - The field displays based on pre-defined a condition. Click Set condition to add the condition.
Visibility conditions are always based on true/false parameters. When the Visibility Condition form opens, the Available Fields Palette displays on form with the Parameter tab enabled.
You can drag and drop true/false parameters from a list of your pre-defined parameters to the condition form. Select All conditions must be true or Any condition must be true as appropriate, and select Reverse this to reverse the logic to a false condition instead of a true condition.
Click the arrow icon to remove a parameter from the conditions. Click OK to close the form and update conditions.
Style Tab
These properties relate to the physical format of fields added to the section. Most of the options are also available on the toolbar.
Note: When these properties are changed, any fields that exist in the section before editing the style properties are not updated with the new style.
