The Properties Tab on the Property Editor allows you to edit any of the properties relating to the currently selected item in the Report Structure List in edit-in-place type fashion. If a control on a band is selected, its properties will appear in the Property Editor for editing. Below we list the properties for each different type of item along with descriptions for each.

A Note on Parent Files

Recall we mentioned that if an item A is left of any item B above it in the Report Structure List, it means that that item B is a parent of item A.The idea of a parent file works more or less the same. The parent file of an item is assumed to be the main file of the closest Secondary Loop or Primary Source item above it. It is also possible to override the parent file of a given Secondary Loop or Lookup by changing the Parent File entry on the Properties Tab.
