Canvas Page

The canvas page is where you design your report using report widgets.

Report Widgets

The report widgets panel on the left of the screen lists the report widgets installed in your toolkit. They are categorised into accordions, according to the plugin they belong to. Expand each accordion to view the list of widgets it contains and hover over the widget name to view its description. To add a widget to the canvas, simply drag and drop it onto the canvas.

Widget Properties

To help you style your report, widget properties are design tools that allows you to configure the layout, alignment, and colours of widgets.

Global Variables

Global Variables is a special functionality developed to help ease the process of designing a report from scratch. We understand that official reports usually come with many features that are consistent throughout its pages, such as headers, footnotes, and names of things. You can define these repeated values as Global Variables that you can use within some of the report widgets.

Tests to Run, Input Blocks

Some report widgets come with dependencies on tests to run or additional user inputs (input blocks). As you include various widgets in your report, the Tests to Run and Input Blocks accordions help you to keep track of what you are currently adding to your test suite.
