Crystal Reports for Eclipse Designer Guide

Hiding report sections

Crystal Reports has several properties you can set in the "Properties" view to hide report sections. To see these properties, select a report section and go to the "Properties" view.

Hide (Drill-Down OK)

The Hide property hides a section whenever you run the report. For example, in a summary report, the Hide property can be used to display only the summaries, but not the details behind the summaries. When the Hide property is applied to a section, it becomes visible when the Drill-down cursor is used to drill down on the section contents. This property is absolute; it cannot be conditionally applied using a formula.

Suppress

The Suppress property also hides a section when you run the report. Unlike the Hide property, however, you cannot apply the Suppress property, then drill down to reveal the section contents. This property can be applied absolutely, or conditionally using a formula. This is useful for writing form letters. For example, in a form letter, you might create two Body sections: one to suppress when sales are equal to or over $X and one to suppress when sales are under $X.
