If you mean like a newspaper flow, it is not supported yet, but you can
just put a two or three column grid in and then put tables, charts, etc
into each of the columns. You can also add a computed column to tables
and filter the list of rows displayed in a table. Take a look at the
attached example.

Do you know if it is on the roadmap at all? I can use computed columns and filters for some reports, but I can't think of a good way to have the report flow into columns the way I'd like.
Does the commercial product support this? I'm confused because there is information online that makes it seem like this feature has been implemented.
Thanks]]>Shane Allred2012-01-24T17:00:23-00:00Re: BIRT 3.7 Report with Multiple Columns

Currently this is not implemented in commercial or open source. It is
in bugzilla: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=133218
Can you please vote on this?
Can you give some more detail on how you want it to flow and maybe with
some scripting we can provide a work around.
