For some scenarios i would like to set the visibility (hide/show) for table columns or rows. Note, for a column to hide I don't simply want the content of the column hidden. I do not want the column to be rendered at all. ie. if the column is hidden, then there should be one less "td" block per row of the table.
This limitation is caused by browser. Will revisit this feature in future version.
There are several alternatives to requiring a hide/show attribute on a html table column. You can either not render the column at all, so that hide/show column is only available during building of the table. Or you can use DHTML to modify the table after it has been rendered. Not rendering the column at all seems to be solution that could be supported by any type of renderer (including pdf).
schedule to evaluate.

This is a very important feature in order to do things like conditional sections.In eRD this would be similar to the conditional section. In Crystal this would be similar to the section expert.
As we discussed and agreed, BIRT 2.1 will support column visiblity. Reassign this to model to make the visibility property avalibale for table column.
Added visibility for Column in ROM and made related changes. Model change has been done. Didn't know whether changes in other teams requires. Reassign.
Please add the visibility page or table column. We could do this in RC1.
I see that we are adding visibilty to the column. Are we doing the same for the row?
Is the "row visibility" enhancement to support conditional formatting not only change color/font of the row but also hide/show the row?
(In reply to comment #10) > Is the "row visibility" enhancement to support conditional formatting not only > change color/font of the row but also hide/show the row? Row visibility would be similar to a condintion section in Actuate or the Section expert in Crystal. Very important ot have since many reports require such a feature.
Synch up with Callisto schedule to rename RC1 as RC2 targeted 5/5/2006.
I've added visibility page for rows and columns.
This bug was about setting visibility on rows and columns manually. BIRT 2.0 also supports highlighting on rows. Highlighting feature allows report designer to attach a boolean expression on a row and if runtime calculation of the expression is true, a row will be highlighted. but highlighting operation can only change display properties such as font and background color, it does not allow setting a row's visibility, and it does not allow the target of highlight rules to be a column. Further enhancements are 1. allow highlight rules to set the visibility of a row. It will require model , UI change, and engine change. I will schedule it for future release since it requires change API change that we can not make in RC phase of 2.1. 2. allow highlight rules applied to a column as well. Model and UI alreay support this one, need Engine change. There is another bug entry for this enhancement tentatively scheduled for RC4.
Fixed
