[Feature Request]Align elements In Different Sections

Posted by Mike Kerner on July 15, 2008 at 4:39pm

I have field titles in the header of my report, and field data below that (it's a list-style report). I'd like to be able to align them except...QR doesn't let me select elements in different sections at the same time.

That was a limitation that I had to put in to avoid problems with items running off into other bands. My plan is to revise the layout builder completely and tackle this problem of 'out of band' items once and for all.
My current line of thinking is allowing you to 'anchor' items as being part of a particular band, even though they're technically outside its bounds. More on that as version 2.0 takes shape.
