Custom data alignment

Version history:
Implemented in August 03, 2023 Release .Stat Suite JS ‘Wave’

By default, string-typed values are left (rtl: right) aligned in table cells while the values of numerical types are right aligned (incl. in rtl version). The data owner can change this behaviour by using a dataflow or DSD annotation of type LAYOUT_CELL_ALIGN with LEFT or RIGHT in its title or localised text properties.

To force the alignment of data to a specific side, use the following syntax:

Syntax

You can use the following syntaxes either in the DSD definition or the dataflow:

defining the alignment per locale

<common:Annotation>
    <common:AnnotationType>LAYOUT_CELL_ALIGN</common:AnnotationType>
    <common:AnnotationText xml:lang="en">RIGHT</common:AnnotationText>
    <common:AnnotationText xml:lang="ar">LEFT</common:AnnotationText>
</common:Annotation>

defining the alignment generically for all locales

<common:Annotation>
   <common:AnnotationTitle>RIGHT</common:AnnotationTitle>             
   <common:AnnotationType>LAYOUT_CELL_ALIGN</common:AnnotationType>
</common:Annotation>

Example

<common:Annotation>
    <common:AnnotationTitle>RIGHT</common:AnnotationTitle>   
    <common:AnnotationType>LAYOUT_CELL_ALIGN</common:AnnotationType>
    <common:AnnotationText xml:lang="ar">LEFT</common:AnnotationText>
</common:Annotation>
