Report Type specific Layout Editors
DataGrid
The DataGrid layout editor displays the output of the query specified in the Query tab in a Devextreme DataGrid, using the default parameters specified on the Defaults tab.
Changes can be made to the layout of this grid by interacting with its elements, for example, by dragging the border of a column to change its width. Any changes that are made in this way are saved and loaded again when the report is shown. The datagrid that will be shown to the user in the actual report will have any such changes applied to it.
The Edit Settings buttons at the bottom of the page can be used to edit the technical Devexpress configuration settings of the grid or the fields of the grid respectively. Consult the Devexpress DataGrid documentation for information on what each definable property means.
To edit the settings of a column field, select a field in the dropdown box on the lower left and click Edit Settings on the lower right. Consult the Devexpress DataGrid Columns documentation for information on what each definable property means.
PivotGrid
The PivotGrid layout editor displays the output of the query specified in the Query tab in a Devextreme PivotGrid, using the default parameters specified on the Defaults tab.
Click the icon at the top left of the grid to open the Field Chooser, which will enable you to select and categorize fields to be displayed in the grid:
At the bottom of the page, the properties of the Grid, or of a selected column Field, can be edited. This works the same way as in the DataGrid. See the DataGrid section above for more information on this.
For information on definable Grid and Field properties, consult the Devextreme PivotGrid configuration documentation and the Devextreme PivotGrid Fields configuration documentation.
For fields that are marked as Data Fields in the Field Chooser, a summary type can be specified. This will determine how the values of this field from the collection of records associated with the Row Fields of the row in question will be displayed in a summarized format.
Consult the Devextreme Pivot Grid documentation for more information on how the Pivot Grid works and how it can be configured.
