Reporting Direction for Forms

The reporting direction for forms is defined via the Form orientation property. This property defines the sequence in which the form is filled during the report - either by row or by column. "By row" means that first all the cells of a row are filled before switching to the next row. "By column" means that first all the cells of a column are filled before switching to the next column.

In addition, the properties Column width and Row height are also relevant to the reporting direction. By entering positive or negative values in these properties, you specify whether the report is generated from left to right, from top to bottom or in reverse.

Report by row

In the tables, a "+" entry represents a positive value, and a "-" entry a negative value.
