Function Description

You can design various types of reports in FineReport. Functions such as Condition Attribute, Filter, Dynamic Parameter Injection, Display, Custom Display, and Pagination can be used for designing a template, as shown in the following figure.

The following explains in detail what functions these identifiers represent, respectively.

Filter Identifier - Small Yellow Triangle

Filter (marked by a small yellow triangle in the lower left corner) has been set in cell B9. The following figure shows the effect of expanding cell B9.

You can double-click cell B9 to view the filtering condition that has been set. In the pop-up dialog box, you can select Filter to see the filtering condition Order ID Equal to Product ID that has been set.

Pagination After Row Identifier - Small Green Triangle

The dashed line on the bottom border of cell A10 indicates that all cells behind row 10 will be displayed on the next page. Similarly, the Paginate Before Row setting has the same identifier as the dividing line above the cell.

Condition Attribute Identifier - Small Red Triangle

Condition Attribute is marked by a small red triangle in the upper left corner. You can set Condition Attribute within templates (for example, in cell D9). The following figure shows the effect.

Custom Display Identifier - Small Purple Triangle

Custom Display is marked by a small purple triangle in the upper right corner. You can double-click a cell and set Custom Display in Advanced. For example, you can set Custom Display for the cell where ShipperAddress is located. The following figure shows the effect.

After you select Repeat Title Column, (HR) will appear behind the column number. After you select Repeat End Column, (FR) will appear behind the column number.
