How can I link or “attach” report blocks so that they are positioned in relation to the each other?
This process will allow you to position the report blocks relative to other report blocks.
- From the Business Objects Report screen, double-click on the edge of the block you want to position. This will bring up the block format window where you can set Formats for tables in your report. Click on the Appearances tab. Alternate method: click on the block, and select Format + Block (Table, Crosstab, or Chart depending on the block type selected).
- You will see the Position screen. Horizontal or vertical position allows you to set the table’s position relative to the margins, upper section, another table, or center across the page (called markers). The space between the marker and the table is relative to the upper left corner of the selected table.
- To move the table to the left and right, use the Horizontal Position Relative to option. To table up and down, use the Vertical Position Relative to option.
- You can enter a number (positive or negative) to set the horizontal space between the marker and the table. You can also enter a number to set the vertical position between the marker and the table.
