List and card report items are generated as tables. A list displays
all objects, with one column per property and one row per object. A card displays a single
object, with one row per property. You can specify which attributes will be displayed, in
which order, and the width of the columns.
- To insert a list or card item, click in the Design or Outline view in the
position where you want to add the item and then double click or drag and drop
the appropriate Toolbox item.
Note: Cards and lists are commonly added to the report as part
of a book (see
Book Report Items).
- To modify the properties displayed, click the card or list icon
in the Design view to display the command bar, and then click the Properties tool to display a list of available
properties, with properties selected for display on the right, and unselected
properties listed in alphabetical order on the left:
- Select or deselect properties as appropriate and then click
outside the list to close it. Properties selected will be added as columns in a
list or rows in a card.
Note: All properties, including extended attributes are available
for selection in this list.
- To reorder list columns or card rows click in a list column
header or card row header to select it, and then click again and drag and drop
it to the desired position.
- To modify the width of list columns or the column separating
the card row header from the property values, hover over a dividing line until
the double-arrow cursor appears, and then click and drag to increase or decrease
the width.
- To modify the default styles for a list or card item, click its icon to display
the command bar, and then click the Styles tool (see
Specifying Global Styles and Local Formats for Report Items). To override the default styles for
this instance, click the Format tool.
