Display type of an item in Pentaho Report Designer

Hello all,

First of all I'm completly new with Pentaho report designer. Until now I worked with BIRT Eclipse and now I'm trying to find similarities to it.

My first question is if Pentaho report designer has a property for display type like BIRT eclipse does. I'll attach an image of this property in BIRT eclipse to be more exactly. I am trying to use this property to have an item displayed or not conditionated by a script.

My second question is related to BIRT Eclipse's grid. I didn't find any simillar item in Pentaho report designer. Is there something related to this item in Pentaho, or I'll have to rethink my layouts?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Best regards,
Dragos.
