Difference in report

Kim Mittet

3 years ago

I have designed a report which is build using boxes with text and some embedded reports. My problem is that one of the boxes is replaced compared to the desing when i show the report.
In the attached document i have tried to illustrate the boxes in green/orange and the embedded reports in blue.
Please notice the orange box have been replaced compared to the design orange box.
Is it possible to fix the orange box on the report when displayed ?

sounds like a can shrink can grow.

The 2 embedded reports (blue) are "can shrink, can grow" but why does the box (orange) follow the lower blue box ?

	Kevin Yip @Reply 3 years ago
"Can shrink" only works if the entire width of the report is free space. The orange box can't go up because the upper left blue box is taking up space on the left side, and that means the entire width is not "free" for the orange box to shrink to. That is by design. If you want the green and orange box to always go together, they need to be combined into one report of their own.

or set the upper left side to cant grow. What do you think Kevin?

	Kevin Yip @Reply 3 years ago
If you are sure the content won't exceed a certain height, then yes, "can't grow" will do.

Thank you, i got the explanation - the upper left side blue box need to shrink/grow - guess i have to live with the space created then.
