Adding a simple box

timsaddler — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

I would like to put my graphs and tables in a simple box on the report.

This seems difficult as even if i create a box and set it as the "bottom" layer and all the other graphs/charts as "top" layer, the box blanks the report?

Any suggestions ?

We use a lot of pdf reports and they always look "clunky".

Thanks in advance

You can use custom layers from -127 to +127

Normal is layer 0, top is 1, bottom is -1.

The layers will work in QlikView but may not work when exported as a pdf though.

perhaps transparent box (do you mean textbox)?

No luck with that

Thanks for the reply. Setting transparency means you can't see the box at all unfortunately.

Have you tried using Line objects? It may be a bit clunky though.
