Report Designer - Multi-column legend

Not sure where to put this thread, not workflow-related but neither is it Essentials specific.   Anyway, I am looking to get the legend in a report template to automatically go to a second or 3rd column.  We have plenty of room to the right of the main (1st)  legend column, and I have replaced the "Legend.rpx" file with the editable/changeable file from the code gallery.  That one appears to let you alter font size, but I cannot figure out how to get it to show more than 1 column.  For example, we have a city zoning layer that has at least 20 levels/colors that should show up in the legend.  The current configuration simply cuts off at the bottom of the legend box.

Thanks

  1. Open up Legend.rpx using Gcx Report Designer

  2. click 'detail' section

  3. On the property panel (bottom right usually), there are 'Data' section where 'ColumnCount' = 1, which is the one you need to play around I think

  Thanks Munwhan - that's really simple, I just missed it.  Only issue is that the column spacing, even set at 0, is much wider than it needs to be.   Is there a way to set that so that so that there is not so much wasted space between columns?  The example here is set to show 4 columns, with 0 as the spacing value (wouldn't accept -1).

  hmm.

  If you set ColumnCount =4, the screenshot you posted seems to be cut-off so that all Legends can't be fit on that space.

  Check this

  1) File menu

  2) Reporting Settings (Width and Height)

  3) Printer Settings and Page Setup

   

  Also for your investigation to see what the real space the each setion of Legend, you may put SHAPE control with the solid boundary to see how it renders ont he PDF.

  Yes, it takes  some trial-and-error experiment to make the output as what you expect....

  Good luck

  Thanks - Still working on this, but on the surface this makes zero sense to me.  ColumnCount of 4, ColumnSpace=0.   This is only showing 2 columns, and only about 60% of the values that should be in the legend.

  Hi there,

   

  Was this ever resolved? How can you change the width on the collumns? Many thanks!

  Hope this helps,

   

  If you click in the details section of the Legend.rpx and look for the Layout Height property in the right panel that will set the hieght of each item in the legend.

   

  If you click Settings in the right panel then look for the Behavior PrintWidth property this will set the width of each item in the legend.
