Report Tag List Widget

Used by:  Report tag.

* Does not use the Style Settings tag.

The Report Tag List tag widget is used to draw a group of tools that operators can use to select the tags to be included in a report.

If you provide this report drawing tool to operators, you must ensure that they know the following:

  • Only tags that are being logged will have data available for a report.
  • Merely selecting a group of tags with this tool is not sufficient for the associated Report tag to actually use them. The selected tags must either be saved as a group, or loaded as a group.

The filtering and selection tools here are the same as those provided in the Reports page. For details on how to use this, please see: Select Tags for a Report.

The properties dialog for the Report Tag List widget:

Title

Provide the text you want to display above the completed Report Tag List. By default, the text "Tag List" will be provided. You may leave this field blank if you prefer not to have a title.

Focus ID

Select a number representing the placement of this object in the page’s overall tab order. (Optional)

When you draw objects on a page, each object is given a focus ID that identifies that object's place in the tab order (that is, which object will be selected when the Tab key is pressed). This does not control which object will initially have focus when a page is opened - that belongs to the first item drawn on the page that can receive focus. (i.e. the first graphics statement in the page’s source file).

You can disable a control widget by setting its Focus ID value to zero. The widget will remain visible, but faded.

Draw Bevel

Encloses the object in a beveled rectangle when selected. The example shown at the beginning of this topic uses a title and bevel.

Align Title

Used in conjunction with the Vertical Alignment choice. Selects whether the title is included when aligning the object vertically within its overall bounding area. See Vertical Alignment for an example.

All Users Can Edit

Controls whether all signed in users may use the objects in the completed Report Tag List, without regard as to the privileges that have been granted to their user account.

If not selected, then only users who have the Configure privilege granted to their user account may use the objects.

This option is useful for allowing administrative personnel to create and configure reports without granting configuration privileges. Information on the Configure security privilege can be found in "System Privileges".

Vertical Alignment

Locates the object vertically within its drawing area. May be one of Top, Centered or Bottom as shown. You can save time by putting the object where you would like on the screen and not making the drawing area larger than the object.

Disable Options

Disable selected operator-interaction features of this widget.
