Strange behaviour when consumingcontainerwhitespace with AX 2012 SSRS report.

Posted on by 170

Hi All,

I'm working on a document that has an element which should always appear at the bottom of the first page, provided that there is only one page in the report.  To achieve this, I'm placing the elements of my report into rectangles of the desired size, and setting the 'consumecontainerwhitespace' property on the report to true.  So it looks something like this:

In normal SSRS this works perfectly - the green rectangle maintains it's size and the table grows within it.  If the top textbox is hidden, then the table simple moves up within the rectangle.

However in AX this isn't the case.  If I just put the table in the green rectangle it works as expected, but the addition of the textbox which may be hidden causes the report to break and the green rectangle starts to grow as more rows are added to the table.  I've tried to illustrate it here:

This is the desired behaviour (which is achieved in regular SSRS):

This is what happens in AX SSRS (but only when there are hidden elements - unfortunately there has to be!):

Apologies for the long post, I hope it makes some sense.  Any suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated.

    text box has the capability to grow vertically, Resize the text box to have 0.0125in size and then have your table below it. Hope this can solve the issue.

    Or add a row outside the group for table vaiable what you have mentioned and have it over here.

    Put the visibility condition on the row properties. This will be the best solution

    Thanks for your response Venkatesh, however in this case it seems to be the act of making a row hidden that is causing the problem.

    If I get a moment I'll post up an RDL file for standard SSRS which shows what I'm aiming to achieve and how it works.
