and their arrangement can be fully customized.
You can preview the report in this area and edit it at the same time.
You can add new components to the report by clicking on the "Component Area".
You can click on a component with the left mouse button while dragging to adjust its position.
You can right-click on a component and select "Delete Component" from the pop-up menu to delete
the corresponding component from the report.
After selecting a component in the report preview area, in the attribute editing area on the right, you
can modify the various attribute values of that component.
When no component is selected, the basic properties of the overall report are displayed by default.
In the "Gallery" or "Offline Analysis" module, click the "Export Report" icon, select a template or use
the default template, and enter the report preview editing page.
On the report preview editing page, the following adjustments can be made to the report:
(1) Add new components to the report;
(2) Delete existing components in the report;
(3) Modify component or report attribute values;
(4) Adjust the position of the components;
36
