When you add a component to the canvas with the Autosize Children option turned on, the existing components will temporarily move out of the way so that you can draw the new one. The components will then reposition and resize automatically.

If the screen does not refresh, you can right-click the canvas and click Update Layout. There is a small amount of canvas space shown to the bottom and right of the screen, which allows you to access the shortcut menu. This extra canvas space is not shown at run time.

Note: If Update Layout does not resize the component automatically, check the properties. The Autosize Children property for the component must be set to Yes, and the Autosize option property must be set to Accept any changes. Components with an Autosize option setting of Keep size and position will not resize automatically on the canvas or at run time.

To change the order of the components, drag a component to the front or to the left of another component.

The following items apply to panel containers:

• A panel that contains components and controls must have the Autosize Children property set to Yes, and the Autosize option property set to Accept any changes.
• The components that are children of a panel have their Autosize option property automatically set to Accept any changes. For controls that are children of a panel, you must manually set the Autosize option property to Accept any changes.
• The panel should have the Number of Columns property set to the value you want. For example, if you want three reports or charts to be next to each other, set the value for the Number of Columns property to 3.

If an object has the Autosize option set to Keep size and position, and you want that object to occupy the entire width of the available space, you must set the Width property to 100%.

Note: Reports and charts do not automatically re-execute once the page loads and the screen size changes. You must re-execute reports and charts to ensure that the content refreshes. If the output format of a chart is HTML5, the chart content refreshes automatically and you will not have to re-execute.
