The Properties Panel in Report Designer dynamically changes and offers different options depending on the selected element or Canvas properties. It allows you to customize your report design in detail. The Actions and Report Inputs sections in particular contain important settings that will improve the functionality of the report.
1. Actions
The Actions section in the Properties Panel is the area where the actions that will work in the report content are defined. You can use all system actions defined in the Kuika system or special actions that you create according to your needs. For example, you can share the report by using the “Share” system action in the report design. Thanks to these actions, user interactions can be easily defined and reports can be made more functional. You can find more information about actions in System Actions and Custom Actions.
2. Report Inputs
Report Inputs are used to facilitate the process of moving data from another screen to the report. These inputs come into play when the report needs to get information from different screens while creating the report. For example, you can use date inputs to filter a specific date range in a sales report. To create a new Report Input, click the +ADD REPORT INPUT button. In the window that opens, specify the input name, select the input type and then easily define a new input by clicking the Create button. In this way, your reports can dynamically receive data and be updated according to specific criteria.
As in the UI Design module, the Properties Panel in Report Designer differs according to the selected element. Since each element has its own properties, different elements offer different setting options. For example:
The Properties Panel allows you to have detailed control over your reports as it shows the custom settings for each element. With this panel, you can make your reports user-friendly and fit for purpose, both visually and functionally.
