Modifying the Properties of Grid Objects

You can customize grid objects using the Grid Properties sheet, which contains three primary categories for modifying a selected grid: General, Suppression, and Position. You can use General to define heading preferences and grid options. Suppression is used to hide a grid, or values in a grid’s cells and Position is used to modify the object’s vertical or horizontal positioning on the grid. The following procedure describes how to modify the properties of a grid object.

  To modify the properties of a grid object:

  1. Open a report and select the object to be modified.

  2. Modify the object using the Grid Properties sheet.

  3. Optional: Click the Dimension Layout button in the Grid Properties sheet to change the dimensions on the grid’s axes. If this is a linked grid, the Grid field displays the name of the grid and its path in the repository.

    Tip:

    To resize the grid object, drag a handle. To move the grid object, drag the grid’s title bar.
