Drag multiple objects

Drag and drop a multiple selection of objects from the Data View to the report page (work area) or the Structure View.

Use the CTRL and SHIFT keys to select the objects, then drag them to the desired location. An object is created for each element selected, following the order in which they were selected.

If you drag to the Design work area using absolute positioning, an additional container is created for each element object. If you have chosen to create a form field object, a horizontal container is used so the elements appear in a line. When you create a column object, a vertical container is used so the elements appear stacked.

If you use relative positioning, or drag to the Structure View, the behavior is the same as if each element was dragged individually.
