List of table placeholder settings

The following page describes all the settings that can be used in table placeholders in reporting templates. Placeholders for tables can include four different groups of settings. These are:

• “data” (required) – containing settings about table content, such as type of the table, and rows and columns that the table will contain,
• “display” (optional) – containing information about table display (e.g., number of significant digits to which the values in the table should be rounded, table direction, style, …),
• “renamings” (optional) – containing various words present in the data set or Monolix that should be reworded in the table.

Settings inside these groups of settings need to be indented or put inside curly brackets. It is crucial to respect the indentation rules and the space after the “:” for the placeholder to be properly interpreted.

Data

Data settings define the type of the table that will be generated, as well as rows and columns that the table will contain. Here is the list of all settings of the data group of settings, along with their descriptions:

Display

Display group of settings defines how the information in the tables will be displayed. Here is the list of all settings for the display group of settings:

Renamings

Renamings setting can be provided to the placeholder to replace certain words or expressions that will appear in the table with a user-defined word or expression. We will explain the usage of renamings setting on a concrete example.

Let’s take a look at the demo project iov1_project.mlxtran. Let’s say we want to put a table of EBEs in the report, with renaming of the occasion column header.

A generated placeholder for the EBEs table, with its default settings, is shown below, including the table it generates.

data:
    task: individualParameters
    method: mode
    metrics: [ID]
    parameters: all
    covariates: all
    covariatesAfterParameters: true
display:
    significantDigits: 4
    fitToContent: true
    metricsDirection: vertical
</lixoftPLH>

Let’s say we would like to hide some of the columns (SEX) and rename some of the expressions in the table. For example, it would be convenient to rename “OCC” to “Period”. We can then modify the placeholder to look like the one on the left and it will generate the table on the right.
