how to print data on multiple columns?

[briglia23]

Hi,
I apologize if the post is already present or if the section is not the right one.

Using iReport 3.7.6 and let me know how I can print the data in multiple columns.

For example, if I have the following information:

dato1, dato2, dato3, dato4, dato5

when I print it:

dato1
dato2
dato3
dato4
dato5

but I would like them to be like this:

dato1 dato4
dato2 dato5
dato3

Thanks in advance

The first thing to do is in the Report Inspector, click on the very top level in the tree, which is the name of the report itself.  In the Properties pane, you'll see a section that "Columns" that lets you define how MANY columns you want (two in your example), the column WIDTH, and the column SPACE (I believe that's the space between columns that will automatically be added as padding).  Further down in that same pane is a property called "Print Order", which can be set to "Horizontal" if you want:

data1          data2

data3          data4

data5                             etc.   or can be set to "Vertical" if you want:

 

data1          data4

data2          data5

data3

 

Hope that helps.
