Layout Tab

Access this tab using Reports>{Any Report}>Layout.

Use this tab to change the font and page setup for a report. The Font Setup button allows you to change the font type, style, and size for the selected Page Section of the report. The Page Setup button allows you to change the report's paper size, source, orientation, and margin settings.

 

Font Setup Page Sections, Current Settings: Select a Page Section, and then click the Font Setup button to change its font type, style, or size. You can only select/change one item at a time. The system displays the current font, style, and size for each Page Section in the Current Settings column.

Page Setup: The system displays the paper size, source, orientation, and margin settings of the current report. Click the Page Setup button to change these settings.

  • By default, all reports print using the Arial font, but you can use this tab to change the font.
  • Sometimes, there are too many columns to fit across one page. Consequently, one report might print on two or more physical pages.
  • Before you print a report, calculate how many total physical pages the report will print.

    Do this by first clicking Print Preview . Then, at the lower right-hand corner of the actual report, notice the physical number of pages for the report. Move to the last page of the actual report to calculate the total number of pages. For example, if the last page of the actual report is 81:2, then you are on page 81 of 2 pages. Therefore, the total number of physical pages would be 81 pages times 2 pages for a total of 162 pages.

    Keep in mind, the "Pages Processed" number on the Report Status form (which displays when the Print, Print Preview, or Print to Screen buttons are selected), is the number of pages of the report, not the physical number of pages that will print. For example, you might see 81 on the Report Status form, but there are actually 162 physical pages.

    Additionally, if you click Print to Screen , you will see a page number at the lower right-hand corner of the actual report. This number is the number of pages of the report, not the physical number of pages that will print. For example, you might see 81 on the actual report, but there are actually 162 physical pages.
