Custom Component Window

The Custom Component Window is where you manage your custom components, allowing you to create, edit, and delete them. This provides flexibility in designing reusable elements for your reports.

Configuring Custom Component Window

Customize the Custom Component Window's behavior and appearance to fit your specific needs using the available configuration options.

  • Creating a New Custom Component:
  • Define its Name.
  • Add a Note for description.
  • Select an Icon to represent it.
  • After creation, you can design it in a new pop-up window.
  • Editing Existing Custom Components:
  • Modify the properties of previously created custom components.
  • Deleting Custom Components:
  • Remove custom components that are no longer needed.

Undoing and Redoing Changes

While designing a custom component, the Undo and Redo buttons in the Home tab of the ribbon step backwards and forwards through your edits. They cover everything you do on the canvas — adding, pasting, deleting, and reordering elements, as well as changes made in the properties panel.

  • Undo: Ctrl + Z
  • Redo: Ctrl + Y

A rapid series of edits is grouped into a single step, so one undo may reverse several small changes made in quick succession. History covers the current editing session only: it starts fresh each time you open the component and is discarded when you close the window.

Practical Examples

See how you can integrate and utilize the Custom Component Window in your reports.

  • Conditional Icon Display: Create a custom component that displays a checkmark or an 'X' icon based on a passed parameter value. This component could then be used within a table to dynamically represent true/false values with clear visual indicators.
