Report Studio
Hiding and Showing Objects
|
You can hide and show objects in a report based on a condition
you define.
You can also specify that an object should not be rendered
based on a condition.
To hide or show objects:
- Create
a variable and define the condition that determines if the object
is to be shown or hidden.
Tip: Create a boolean variable to show and hide objects, as
this type of variable has only two possible values.
- In the Insertable
Objects pane, on the toolbox tab
, drag the Conditional Blocks object to the work
area.
- Click the conditional block.
- In the Properties
pane, double-click the Block Variable
property.
- Click Variable,
click the variable you created, and click OK.
- Click the Current
Block property and click Yes.
- In the Insertable
Objects pane, drag the object you want to show or hide in the conditional
block.
For example, drag a data item from the source tab or from the data
items tab.
You may need to link the report page to a query before you can add
a data item to the block. For more information see Adding
a Page To a Report.
When you run the report, the report objects to which you
applied the variable are visible when the condition is satisfied and invisible
when it is not.
