7.3 Report Builder Preview How-To

Post by Mikro » Wed Jul 31, 2019 6:19 am

Hi Dan,

I tried to use the 'Report Builder' and posted a few findings here:
Report Builder Preview findings

I roughly remember that it should be possible to format task on different Task levels differently,
indent lower level tasks and so on.
Perhaps you could post a few infos on which features are allready implemented, how to use them (if any coding or symbols needed) and which are still to come.

Thank you!
Cheers
Mikro

All you have to do is append a number to the attribute name:

$(title.1) will match all top-level task titles
$(title.2) will match all immediate subtasks of top-level tasks
$(title) will match titles of all subsequent levels of subtasks

Ideally you position them all on the same line with no spaces between them because all I'm doing here is a simple text substitution so any gaps between the placeholders will remain after the substitutions.

In addition to default attributes and custom attributes I propose to include 'layout' attributes like '$(indent)' to help distinguish subtask levels when using a flat layout like a table.
