Creating a Custom Table Style

In addition to using the predefined table styles (see Adding a Table Style or Table Properties in Dashboard Design), you also can create your own custom table styles. A custom table style is a reusable component that can be applied to multiple tables in reports or Viewsheets.

To create a custom table style, follow the steps below:

You do not need to open a report or View­sheet in order to cre­ate a table style.

1. Click the 'New' button in the Style Studio toolbar. This opens the 'New Asset' dialog box.

2. In the left panel, select the 'Component' node.

3. In the right 'Type' panel, select the 'Table Style' node.

 

4. Click 'OK'. This opens the Table Style Editor.

 

The table diagram in the top panel is an interactive interface that has several selectable regions. See Table Style Regions for a list of the different areas that you can style.

5. (Optional) If desired, create a custom region to style. See Creating a Custom Style Pattern for more details.

6. Click on the region of the table diagram that you wish to style (or click the region name in the Regions panel). The bottom panel displays the visual property settings for the region you selected.

 

7. Modify the properties to achieve the desired appearance for the selected region of the table.

8. Click the 'Save' button in the Style Studio toolbar. This opens the 'Save' dialog box.

9. Enter a name for the new table style, and select a category (folder) into which the style should be placed.

 

10. Click 'OK'. This saves the table style into the library file (stylereport.srl file).

You can use the new style in the same way that you use the predefined styles. See see Adding a Table Style or Table Properties in Dashboard Design for details.
