Spacer¶
The Spacer component creates empty space in report layouts using a simple box element. Unlike Separator which creates lines, Spacer creates rectangular spacing areas.
Basic styling options (background color, margins) are available but typically the component is used for invisible spacing between other components.
Use Cases¶
- Layout spacing - add vertical or horizontal space between components for better readability
- Design placeholders - use as temporary placeholders during report development
- Conditional spacing - create spacing that appears/disappears based on data conditions
- Flow layouts - provide spacing between elements in Flow components
Tips¶
- Most commonly used for adding empty space rather than visible elements
- Apply Visible Expression to show/hide spacing conditionally
- Combine with Flow components for precise layout control
