Understanding Actuate BIRT Reportlet portlet

The Actuate BIRT Reportlet portlet consists of a component from a report, rather than a whole report or a whole report page. This portlet supports viewing a part of the report in the portlet window. Specify a report item by its table of contents entry or by a bookmark. Before using this portlet, you must identify the report item in the report design and configure its table of contents entry or bookmark. Table 3-5 lists and describes Actuate reportlet portlet parameters.

To set the maximum height in pixels according to your web page layout, use the Height parameter. If the Reportlet is too large, a scrollbar appears. The default value of maximum height is zero, which means there is no limit on the height of the Reportlet. In that case, the whole reportlet appears without a scrollbar.
