Ordering controls on a document

You may have controls in a document that overlap. You can change the order of a control and display it in front of or behind another control.

For an example and images of ordering controls, see the MicroStrategy Report Services Document Creation Guide.

To order controls

•  

1. Open the document in Design or Editable Mode.

2. Right-click a control, highlight Order, and select one of the options described below:

• Send to Back: Moves the control to the very back of the document.

• Bring to Front: Moves the control to the very front of the document.

• Send Backward: When three or more controls overlap and you want to incrementally send one control back, but not all the way to the back.

• Bring Forward: When three or more controls overlap and you want to incrementally bring one control forward, but not all the way to the front.

You can also access these ordering options from the Align and Order toolbar. To show the Align and Order toolbar, from the menu, select Align and Order.
