Using visual aids to design your report layout

Visual aids in the work area help you when you are designing your report layout.

Procedure

Select the options that you want to make visible.

Table 1. Descriptions of visual aids
Option	Description
Show Boundary Lines	Overrides all boundary line settings by replacing them with default (dotted line) lines. For example, if you set the Border property for an object, the border lines are replaced with dotted lines.
Show Page Header & Footer	Shows the page header and page footer.
Show Drag & Drop Padding	Shows a drag-and-drop zone when the Padding property for an object is set to 0. If the Padding property is set to a value that is greater than the minimum padding that IBM® Cognos® Workspace Advanced uses to show drag-and-drop zones, only the minimum padding is shown.
Show Container Selectors	Shows a small selector (three orange dots) in the top left corner of list and crosstab reports that allows you to select lists and crosstabs and the objects that they contain.
