Understanding Properties

Properties are available in Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Report Design Aid (RDA) at the report, section, and object levels. Properties enable you to:

• Change fonts.

• Change field justifications.

• Change decimals.

• Select additional advanced settings.

Some properties are available at all levels, while other properties are specific to a level. Properties that are available at all levels are processed by the system using a hierarchy. When properties are defined at multiple levels, the lowest level properties are recognized and processed by the system. For example, if you define a font size of 8 in the report properties, then define a font size of 10 in the properties of an individual field, the individual field appears in a font size of 10, while the rest of the report appears in a font size of 8.

This table describes how properties affect the elements of a report template:

Properties	Description

Field properties	Affect the selected field only. You can view and modify data field properties using the menu method, the Fields tab on the report section method, or the double-click method.
Column heading properties	Affect the selected column heading only. You can view and modify column heading properties using the menu method, the Fields tab on the report section method, the Column tab on the design workspace, or the double-click method.
Row properties	Affect the selected row only. These properties exist in tabular sections only. You can view and modify row properties using the menu method, the Row tab on report section method, the Row tab on the design workspace, or the double-click method.
