Is there a way to dynamically increase the size of a box in Crystal Report?
I have an investigation box which can contain lots of detail and i need this to increase in size when there is lots of text. The Root Cause description box should dynamically show after the the text has finished. The layout should be below.
Currently, the text is overflowing and going over each section making it hard to read.
All the boxes are in the Report Header section
Place each box in a separate section (RHa, RHb, RHc, etc.).
To create multiple Report Header sections, right-click and select 'Insert Section Below'.

I am putting a footnote in an .rtf template, and before generating a report it seems ok,
but when I load an XML sample and preview the document (.pdf or .doc etc.)
the footnote content goes right into the body of my report (example is in the picture).
I've tried using text boxes, but it doesn't help.
I've also tried just making a paragraph look as a footnote, but since I have a lot of
tags in my template, the footnote-looking text doesn't stay at the
bottom of the page.
and I can't use footers/headers because I need only one footnote at one page.
Try to draw a borderless table with one column and two rows where the first row has fixed hight (exactly) of the size of body, and the second row fixed hight of the size you want to reserve for the footer. Then you place your xml data in those two rows of the table the same way as you put it on the page. I use that for different forms when the position of the data is fixed. There are also other table/row/column properties that you might want to use.
I am very new to jasper reports so please bare with me. I created a new jasper report using the "tree" template. I simply used a table that has ~50 fields (select * from mytable). Jasper reports created the report. I made no other modifications, whatever jasper studio generated is the fie I have. It seems to have a height of 1420px. The columns are on the left, the values are on the right. When I go preview the report now, I get the error message:
the detail section, the page and column headers and footers and the
margins do not fit the page height
I understand that there are so many columns, it is to large for the report, but do not know how to solve it. I would like the report to automatically start a new page whenever the data fills up. I do not know the exact heights these fields will have as it depends on how much text is inside of each, which depends what is stored in the database. How can I accomplish so that the report automatically starts a new page when it needs to?
I am working with SAP Crystal Report 2012. I am suppose to create a Crystal Report which may be exported to PDF. It has certain fields with "Can Grow" property. As a result of all this I am facing overlapping text issues due increase in the text length, I do not want to limit the length of text fields.
I have already tried keeping fields in the different sections. It did removed overlapping but it duplicated the fields as there is a grouping applied in these fields and thus hampered the whole format.
Here is the image of the required format with overlapping text:
Here is the result of applying sectioning on the report as I said it did removed sectioning but duplicated the fields:
just keep your original layout and do this. Put you pointer over the margin and drag it to the left to create a section under your growing field. In that way the field can grow pushing down the section below. See below picture.
I'm using the table in my jasper report.When i put the table in the detail section it repeats the table so i put it to the summary band.
I also want to add the page footer in my report too.
How can i do this jasper report 5.5 ?
If you are using iReport to design your report, there is an easy way to add/remove bands, such as a Page Footer. On the left, on the Report Inspector, if "Page Footer" is in light grey (which means it is not inserted), right click on it, and select "Add Band" :
Also, another way i deal with tables, is by adding all the tables column headers in a single row on the Title band positioned on the lower border of the band, and right down to them, again on a single row, all the TextFields containing the data (inside the Detail band). These way, the first row will be printed only once, and all the part in the detail band (which means all the rows of the table) will be printed. You have just to make a little cell formatting to make it appear with a table fashion (such as borders, background etc) which is very easy with iReport:
We are using Crystal Report 12 in one of our projects. Currently I need to create report template which should show different icons based on the some field value.
That field contains a number, storing some kind of status and I have several icons corresponding some statuses.
At the moment I can't figure out how to implement such a thing in Crystal Reports designer.
Could someone please help me?
Showing and hiding graphical objects in CR based on a formula is almost exactly like showing and hiding text labels based on certain criteria.
First, you need to add each icon to your report detail section by choosing the Insert menu, and then select Picture...
Once all your icons are inserted, you will need to edit the suppression formula by right-clicking on each icon and choosing Format Graphic. On the first tab of the Format Editor, you have a Suppress option just like you do for other report objects. Click on the formula button next to Suppress to add a suppression formula to the icon describing when it should be shown or hidden.
I was also searching for the similar solution and this helped me. These steps works.
To display a particular picture, based on a column value, right click on picture> Format Graphic> Suppress (do not check)
And write formula, for example
ColorCode= '110'
(Based on column name ColorCode if column value is '110' I am displaying the picture)
