| Designing a Report / Placing elements on the report page | |
You can drag and drop a multiple selection of objects from the Data View to the Design Work area or Structure View. Use the Ctrl and Shift keys to select the objects, then drag them to the desired location. An object will be created for each element selected, following the order in which they were selected.
If you drag to the Design Work area using Specific Positioning (the Ctrl key is pressed when dropping), an additional container is created for each element object. If you have chosen to create a form field object, a horizontal container is used so the elements will appear in a line. When you create a column object, a vertical container is used so the elements will appear stacked.
If you use Dynamic Layouting, or drag to the Structure View, the behavior is the same as if each element has been dragged individually.
