Design surface in Bold Reports® Web Report Designer

The Bold Reports® Web Report Designer comes with a WYSIWYG design surface. You edit a report in a form that resembles its appearance when printed or displayed.

What can I do on the design surface?

The Web Report Designer design surface provides these key features for arranging report items:

  • Arrange report items on the Web Report Designer surface using drag-and-drop operations.

  • Grid lines and snap-to-grid options simplify the positioning and aligning of report items.

  • You can resize a report item in eight different directions to keep its shape. You can also resize multiple objects at the same time.

  • When multiple report items overlap in the design surface, the layout ordering controls which report item is at the top and which is at the bottom.

  • Enhanced alignment options allow perfect positioning, sizing, and aligning of report items in a report.

  • You can distribute selected report items on the design surface at equal intervals from each other.

  • You can perform basic designing actions using the design surface context menu.
