The header is the topmost section of the table element, typically used to display titles, column headers, or dynamic data like the current date/time. These properties allow you to customize the header’s visibility, content, and size adjustments.

​
Header Settings

​
Show Header

  • Enable or disable the visibility of the table header.

​
Edit Header Content

  • Allows full customization of the header by adding page elements.
  • Elements can include text, images, formatted date/time, and data from external sources.

​
To edit the header:

  1. Click Edit to open the Edit Header window.
  2. Add and configure page elements as needed.
  3. Click Close in the File menu.
  4. Confirm changes by clicking Yes.
  5. Apply changes by selecting OK or Apply in the table properties window.

​
Automatic Shrink/Grow

  • Automatically adjusts the header height based on its content.
  • Ensures that variable-sized elements (e.g., auto-sized text) do not cause overflow or blank spaces.

​
Behavior & Remarks

  • Editing the header functions like designing a standard page but excludes nested table elements.
  • Page properties are replaced with Header properties, allowing customization of background color and height.
  • The header width is automatically set to match the table element width.

​
Automatic Shrink/Grow Details

  • The system adjusts header height dynamically based on the bottommost visible element.
  • If an element resizes or disappears, the header shrinks or grows accordingly.
  • If all elements in the header become invisible, the entire header disappears.
  • The header’s size adjustments impact the table body’s layout depending on its height settings.

​
Use Cases

  • Display real-time data (e.g., a timestamp that updates dynamically).
  • Create a responsive header that shrinks when content is hidden (e.g., conditional column headers).
  • Add a branding section with logos and static text at the top of a data-driven table.
