Reordering report blocks

Reordering blocks

The report editor allows you to reorder blocks in a report. When printing the report, the blocks will be printed according to the order specified in the report editor. The order in which the processes of the blocks are run corresponds to the order in which the blocks are printed. To reorder blocks in a report:
  1. Open the report description window ("Report description" in the context menu of the report).
  2. Go to the "Blocks" tab.
  3. Modify the print order of the blocks:
Remark: The print order of the blocks can also be modified in the description window of each block ("Block description" from the popup menu of the block).

Special case: reordering iteration blocks

By default, iteration blocks are displayed in a report in the order in which they were created.
To reorder iteration blocks in a report:
  1. Open the report description window ("Report description" in the context menu of the report).
  2. Go to the "Blocks" tab.
  3. Select the name of the iteration block and use the "Move block up" and "Move block down" buttons.
    Remark: These options are also available in the context menu of the block.
