5.3 Property Dialog Boxes

Every element has a 'Property' dialog box that allows you to modify attributes of the corresponding element. To open the 'Property' dialog box, do one of the following:

Right-click on the element and select 'Properties' from the context menu.

Double-click on the element.

 

To simultaneously edit the attributes of multiple elements (of the same element type), Ctrl-click the elements to select them all. Then right-click on one of the elements, select 'Properties' from the context menu. This will open a dialog box exposing the common properties that you can set.

Most element 'Properties' dialog boxes consist of several tabbed panes. The common Attributes tab offers common features such as alignment, font, color and options to hide the element on print/export. Many elements also have a Layout tab, which has the anchor, size, and wrapping attributes.

You can also set properties for single or multiple components by using the Property panel of the Report Explorer. See Report Explorer View for full details.
