Report text and Table are aligned

[poornimak]

Hi

I  have text above Table. When I use Layout, the Report text is getting aligned with Table. 

As in, if I have 15 columns, the text box is also of 15 columns width. Is there a way I can customize them

Hi @poornimak 

One way to overcome the issue is you can add one more Text tool with empty space.

Join the both text tool and select for display as Horizontal.

By this way you can customize the 15 column text box.

If you have any screenshots or workflow can help to implement the solution.

Many thanks

@poornimak  It might be easier to provide a better answer with some more context but I can take a guess. Because you can change the Layout Width in the configuration of the layout tool, I'd expect you can achieve whatever result you want by layering layouts within layouts.

For example if I wanted to cap my text at being 20% of the size of my table in the below example, I can put text by text first limited at 20%, and then when I join my table I can keep that at 100% so it looks longer. Does that help?

combine your header and body report snippets in a new table prior to your layout tool.
