  i’m evaluating ActiveREports JS for a new project. We allow the user to select different options to modify the appearance of the report, which we then apply at runtime. Examples of changes include:

  hiding/suppressing or modifying the field for a group header/footer

  hiding fields/labels/lines

  moving fields/textboxes/labels/lines

  it appears that some modification of a report is supported, like changing page orientation in this example:
  
  https://www.grapecity.com/activereportsjs/docs/DeveloperGuide/ActiveReportsJSViewer/LoadingReports/LoadingFromJSON#loading-reports-as-json-resources

  are we able to modify properties of any objects in the report?

  thanks
  
  Shawn

  Hello, Swan,
  
  Runtime modification of a report object is supported.
  
  Here is an example of code that hides the first item of the report body.

      const bodyReportItems = report.Body?.ReportItems;
      if (bodyReportItems?.length) {
        bodyReportItems[0].Visibility = { Hidden: true };
      }
  

  By the way - you can schedule a free demo session at https://calendly.com/activereportsjs/activereports-js-demo and we can talk in detail about the requirements you have for a reporting solution and whether ActiveReportsJS can fulfill them.
