Report layout
The appearance of the PDF report is managed via the XSL report template Report Layout option. The following options can be selected:
Type | Explanation | |||
group | Default group with background text for element, then field values for each field on a line. If the fields have a name which is marked for display in front of/behind the field, this will also be shown. Different types of fields (text, figures, logical) have different fixed widths. | document-group | Provides a "document style" for the group in certain reports which have been adapted as such, i.e. that group titles and element titles are shown as numbered headings and contents are formatted as in a document.Designed to show all fields in an element in the same row. Fields will be displayed continuously after each other for space efficiency. | |
flow-group | Same as group | |||
value-spec | Same as group | |||
description-group | Used by groups which comprise one large multi-line text field. The name of the group will be displayed in bold above the text in the fields. | |||
two-column | The elements are in two columns. | |||
three-column | The elements are in three columns. Typical for elements where there is only one field. | |||
dynfour-field-table | Creates a table of the fields in the elements in this group. Elements are rows and fields are columns. Must only be used for groups where all elements have an equal number of fields. Will make use of the first element to deduce the number of columns in the table and any headings in the columns by looking at the field names. All subsequent elements must be equal! Will distribute positions regularly among the fields. | value-spec | Group for elements of e.g. the type for "Yes/No and comment" fields. Displayed with headings "Value specification" and any group heading if set. If there are more than two fields in the element, they will be displayed continuously after the second column | The elements are in four columns. Typical for elements where there is only one field. |
five-column | The elements are in five columns. Typical for elements where there is only one field. | |||
value-spec-no-header | Same as above but without heading for several subsequent groups of same type. | value-spec-two-column | Same as value-spec but in two columns. | |
value-spec-two-column-no-header | Same as above but without headings. | |||
yes-no-spec-min-max | For elements which are of the form "Yes/No, specify, min/max". | |||
percent area | Template adapted to finishes %, m2. | |||
