Options

The following properties are configurable in the Properties panel:

Current Page Size

The current page size may be larger than the Minimum Page Size but never smaller. The current page size will adjust to accommodate the content of the current page (e.g. more boxes require more space).

Note

Page size can also be adjusted using the Page menu.

Minimum Page Size

The minimum page size can be adjusted to optimize results when outputting content to a printer.

Margins

Use the margins radio buttons to select the desired page margins. Chart content will stay within the margins.

Orientation

Use the orientation radio buttons to select Landscape or Portrait orientation.

Header & Footer

Use the header/footer controls to set the header/footer height. Chart content will stay outside of the header and footer areas. The header and footer area are typically adjusted to make sure logos, page number, and auto-text elements on the Master Page do not overlap chart content.

Chart Type

Use the radio buttons to select a desired chart layout from the following available options:

Standard

Direction of the hierarchy displays top-down.

Inverted

Direction of the hierarchy to be flipped (bottom-up reporting).

Level

Records on the chart are displayed at varying heights, depending upon criteria defined in the data.

Starburst

Resembles concentric rings. In this type of chart, the top box is in the middle and the reports are structured in a circle outward.
