Miscellaneous Commands

The following section has the description of some miscellaneous commands of the Report/Presentation Designer.

This command appears in the Context menu if the user right clicks on an empty area of some band. The command will stretch the band vertically, so that it occupies all available height. Other bands are collapsed, so that their heights become zero. This is especially useful when a report occupies just one band, for example the Title band.

This command makes a conditional element out of the existing non-conditional element. The command creates a conditional element with the original element being the sub-element of the conditional element (initially without the conditions but you can add them later) - see Editing Conditional Element. The command may be useful if you want to attach conditions to the existing element, but you do not want to re-create the element as part of a conditional element. To invoke the command right click on the element you want to attach the conditions to and select the Attach Conditions from the context menu.
