The articles in this section of the Knowledge Base involve working with Lists for display in your reports. To learn more about Lists and how to access the Report Designer, see Creating Lists in Report Designer. This article provides information for inserting a Check Box into your Report.
A Check Box is used in Reports for displaying Boolean values. To add a Check Box to the Report Template, select Components > Drag the Check Box component into the template.
Various styles can be applied to a Check Box. To access the various styles available for the Check Boxes, select the drop down for the Check Style for True property of the Check Box Component. A style for when the Boolean value evaluates as false can also be applied using the Check Style for False property. Figure 02 presents the available styles of check boxes:
The types of Boolean values can be changed using the Values property of the Check Box Component. The options are true/false, yes/no, on/off, and 1/0.
Insert the Check Box Component into the Data Band as you normally would a Text Component.
Select the Check Box Component to open the properties and set them as you desire. Enter the Boolean Data Column from your Data Source in the Checked property of the Check Box Component, or by opening the Text Editor. The Text Editor option allows you to pull from the Data Dictionary directly.
Boolean Data Columns are denoted with a check mark in the Data Dictionary.
Once you have set up the properties of the Check Box component to your liking, render the Report. Your results should look something like Figure 07.
