Web Report Designer Table Context Menu

The table context menu may be opened in two ways:

• Hover over the corresponding table, table column, or table row. Click on the ellipses ... when they appear.
• Open the Explorer tab in the Components/Explorer area of the Web Designer and find the corresponding table. Expand the groups. Click on the ellipses ... beside the item.

The exact options in the menu depend on the selected table part - see Crosstab Areas. The static and dynamic groups the column/row falls in, the availability of merged cells, etc. may also impact the content of the context menu.

Context Menu for the entire Table item

The context menu items are:

• Copy, Paste, Reset Style: Use to copy the style from one table to another, or reset to the default style.
• Bring To Front/Send To Back: Allows you to change the order of the items in the items collection of a section. Use when the table overlaps with another item to determine which one should stay on the top.

Context Menu for a Table Column

Hover over the top right corner of the specific table column in the Column Groups area to open its Context Menu.

The context menu items are as follows. Some of the options may be hidden or disabled, depending on the context, for example, the static and dynamic groups the column falls in:

• Copy, Paste, Reset Style: Use to copy the style from one table column to another, or reset the default style.

The designer automatically detects the possible moving directions. Available options: Move Left and Move Right.
