Layout options

There are a number of page layout options available for reports, including column configurations, page layouts, wide layouts, and the functionality to show, move, and organise columns and rows to best present your data.

​

Settings

To access page layout settings for a report, click on Settings from the Present Toolbar.

​

Page Layout

Click on Page-layout to set the report to an A4 dimension portrait layout. This is the recommended setting for most report layouts. The current layout selection will highlight blue.

​

Wide layout

Click on Wide layout to set the report to an A4 dimension landscape layout. The current layout selection will highlight blue.

​

Show layout outlines

Toggle on/off to show layout outlines in the report. This will show a grey outline box around each report tile (section), to enable easy identification of report blocks and tiles.

​

Blocks and tiles

Blocks are the sections (rows) added to the report. These will have a dashed line outline with show layout outlines toggled on. Tiles are the individual report elements, such as charts and text blocks, that have been added to a row. These will have a solid grey outline around each tile with show layout outlines toggled on. Tiles can be edited within a block (row), and moved between rows. Rows can be split into columns.

​

Edit Row Columns

Select from 1, 2, 3 or 4 columns for the selected row. To add or remove a column, hover over the row you want to edit. On the left hand side of the row, click on the board icon to quickly change between 1, 2, 3 or 4 columns. On the right hand side of the row, click +Column to add one column at a time to that row.

​

Edit tile layout

To edit tile layouts, hover over the tile you want to move and click on the 3 dot kebab menu on the right hand side. You will see the option to move, change row, or change column (where more than 1 column is in the layout) of that tile.

​

Move

To move a tile up or down in a row, click on the up or down arrow next to “Move”.

​

Column

Where there are multiple columns in a block (Row), to move a tile between columns, hover over the tile you want to move and click on the 3 dot kebab menu on the right hand side. Click on the left or right arrows to move the tile between columns.

​

Row

To move a tile between rows, hover over the tile you want to move and click on the 3 dot kebab menu on the right hand side. Next to Rows, click on the up or down arrows to move the tile between rows.
