Moving Fields

You can move any field or group of fields on the layout to another location. If you are moving multiple fields at the same time, those fields retain their positions relative to one another when moved to a new location.

Follow these steps to move one or more fields on the report layout:

  1. Select the fields you want to move.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Drag the field to the new location and release the mouse button. The mouse cursor changes to a four-way arrow as you move the fields.
    • Choose Edit Cut. Place the edit cursor where you want to insert the fields and choose Edit Paste Objects.

When you paste a group of fields, the alignment of the upper-left field in the group determines the starting point of the paste location. The following table explains how Report Builder positions the fields:

If the top left field is . . .
Report Builder . . .
Left-aligned
Positions its left edge at the edit cursor
Center-aligned
Centers it on the edit cursor
Right-aligned
Positions its right edge at the edit cursor

The other fields in the group maintain their positions relative to the upper-left field.

NOTE: You might have to insert additional lines in a band so that you can copy fields to lines of the proper type.
