Description

Fixed size

(not available for sub-tables)

The "Fixed height" property lets you specify that the size of the table is not to be adjusted automatically when it has fewer data lines than the available space in the table object, after the field names are replaced with content. If the property is disabled, the end of the table moves upwards automatically.
If a footer line is defined, "fixed size" will cause it to be separated from the rest of the table by a space of at least one line. This space accommodates the frame as defined in the data line definition 1. Otherwise, the footer line will appear immediately below the table.

Please consider that any objects interlinked with the table can only adjust their position automatically to correspond with changes in the table size if "fixed size" is disabled.

Separators fixed

If this property is enabled, the separators are also drawn through the empty area of the table between the last data line and the footer line. If the option is disabled, the separators are only drawn as far as the last data line. This property is only available with "fixed size" tables.

Pagebreak condition

With this property, you can specify a condition that causes a page break after a data line as soon as the condition is met.

Data lines

 

 

 

 

Suppress

When you enable the "Data lines.Suppress" object property in tables, all data lines are completely suppressed. This option is particularly useful in combination with the "Force Sums" option. The latter option specifies that totals are also calculated when a data line is not printed. By combining both options and using groups and sum variables, you can print more interesting statistics.
