Adding and customizing design components

 

You can add the following design components to your reports and labels:

 

Text Fields

Bar Codes

Lines

Rectangles

Polygons

Ellipses

Rounded Rectangles

Pictures

Styled Text

Sub Reports

Section Breaks

 

The following pages discuss in detail the various design components that you can add to your reports and labels. For each design component, an outline of the properties attached to the component is included, as well as a sample of the component.

 

Note that the sample project Chapter11_Customizing.pnj contains a report called Report2 that includes added design components that you can use to view and edit the component properties outlined in this section. You can access this project by clicking File – Open Project in the application menu, then enabling the Open a sample project option.

 

Once you have added a design component to a report or label, you can select, resize, lock, order, group, align, and space the component. For information about these actions, see Managing Design Components.
