Using Container Object Types in Reports :: SAS(R) Visual Analytics 6.4: User's Guide

About Container Objects

You can use a vertical, horizontal, or stack container to group other report objects. After you insert a container, you can drag and drop other report objects onto the container.

When you use a stack container, the report objects are displayed as if they are in a slide deck. Only one report object is displayed at a time. The stack container has a control bar instead of a scroll bar that lets you move between report objects. You cannot nest stack containers. However, you can place them side by side. When you use precision layout, you can resize the stack container.

Note: Stored processes cannot be added to a container.

Specify Container Properties

To specify the properties for a container:

If it is not already selected, select the container in the canvas that you want to update.
In the right pane, click the Properties tab.
Update the general properties for the container. You can update the Name, Title, Format (for the title's font style), and Description.
Update the object-specific properties for the container. Here are some details about the properties for containers:
- For stack containers, the Navigation control location property changes the location of the control bar, and the Navigation button type property changes the appearance of the control bar. You can reorder the display of the report objects in the stack container using the Objects list.
- By default, the Enable selection in the viewers property is selected for containers. This means that users who use the web viewer or a mobile device can select the container and click to see the container name and any incoming filter information.
- Update the order in which the report objects appear inside the container.

Specify Container Styles

No styles are available for containers.
