To access the general properties for the report, ensure that no components

are selected in the interface (simply click on an empty part of the canvas to

deselect a selected component). The general properties of the dynamic

report will show in the properties pane in the right side of the window

(Figure 65).

You can click and drag the dividing line between the two columns to

change column width. Hold your mouse pointer over each cell in the

‘Name’ column to view a longer description of the property.

To change a value that can be True or False, simply click the checkbox in

the ‘Value’ column. Some values are chosen from a pick list – click in the

cell and select your value from the pick list. To change a numerical value,

click in the cell containing the value. Up/down arrows will appear and you

can use these to change the value. Alternatively, you can type a new

number into the cell but you must then press ‘Enter’ on your keyboard to

containing the value and type a new value. Most property and style

changes will not appear instantly in the Design View. You will need to click

the refresh button that appears at the bottom of the properties pane to

refresh the view (Figure 66).

Please note: There are properties which would require a complete

new load of the report to be visible in the Design View. These will not

show when clicking the refresh button. You can, however, save your

changes and view them by opening your report in the browser.

Alternatively, closing and reopening the Designer will make these changes

visible in the Design View.

C.4.2.2. Configuring the Visible Text in the Report

In InstantAtlas HTML dynamic reports you can change the text for

exporting, sharing and for the Legend classifiers in the general

properties. Other text can be changed within the specific component

properties.
