The Properties view helps you configure a selected element or elements. If more than one element is selected, only the properties those elements have in common are shown. If the 5Properties view is not visible, open the context menu for the selected elements and find the menu item, which shows and brings to the front the Properties view.
Properties are organized into tabs and sections for a better organization and usability. Tabs can include the following:
-
Appearance, which contains all the properties responsible for element size, position, colors, style and flags when the element is shown in the runtime.
-
Borders, where you can configure how borders of the element are painted.
-
Advanced, which contains all the properties for the report element in a form of a table tree, and you can reset the property to default value, in context menu.
For example, a property description is shown in the tool tip and in the status line.
