Title: another row above header
Post by: bucky on 13 May 2009 01:42:07 AM
For a list table, is there a way to add another row above the header (basically have 2 rows as headers)?

See the attached image for an example.

Yes, Report Studio can do what you want to do, but you basically have to build your own list header to contain your column titles.

Steps:

1) Select your "List" and set the "Column Titles" properties to "Hide"

2) From the top menu select "Structure" -> "List Headers and Footers"

3) Check "List Page Header" (this will add a row to the top of your list)

4) Select the List Page Header Row

5) From the top menu select "Structure" -> "Insert List Rows Cells Above"

6) Choose as many rows as you need (for example 2)

7) Delete the default List Page Header row

Select all the cells of your new header rows and set the Class (Global) to: List Column Title Cell

....then, merge cells ("Merge Cells" button) as you see fit for your report and add column titles as required.
