The editor is separated to two parts. The upper part cares about the data from "ECSpec->logicalReaders" and "ECSpec->boundarySpec", and everything from LRSpec. The down part cares about data from "ECSpec->reportSpecs". All the modifications of logicalReaders and reportSpec are done through standard properties view.
