The object column represents the differents blocks (columns) which you want to place in the detail region. It can exist cases in which you want to divide the detail region in several columns (for example to place a graphic, an image, etc). For this, the columns should be used. The detail region should be divided in as many columns as you wish. The column which has the attribute flow=true will be the column that the system will use for the body of the report.

1 column

<column
    extend='extend'
    flow='true|false'
>
    <report.block /> *
</column>

Attributes
Name	Type	Required	Default	Description
Aextend	String				Width of the column.
Aflow	Boolean				Indicate if it is the column of the body of the report.

Arguments
Name	Type	Required	Unique	Nullable	Description
Ereport.block					Object of report.block type which will contain the elements to draw.

Remarks

You can place as many columns as you wish, with the condition that one must contain the flow = true.

Example

In this case, the detailed region is divised in the 3 columns, putting the flow in the column of the middle.
