You can set relative positioning on autosized report objects. This is an advanced positioning mechanism that gives you precise control over how report objects are positioned relative to one another. If none of the report objects in your report is autosized, then the relative positioning is ignored.
If you set the position of a report object to relative, all report objects within the design shift so that the distance between the autosized report object and fixed report objects remain the same.
For example, GridA is autosized and has horizontal positioning set to Center, therefore, GridA is printed in the center of the page. ChartA is linked to GridA, and has its vertical position set to Relative and is placed one inch from the bottom edge of GridA. ChartA is printed one inch from the bottom of Grid A.
If the alignment for ChartA is not set to relative, it is printed on the absolute coordinates in the layout of the grid, so it might overwrite Grid A.
Note: | Vertical and horizontal positioning are not maintained after changes are made to the report. |
