You can specify the how to display Header and Footer information
for a grouping column of a quick report.
You
must open the Create New Quick Report wizard.
To specify Header and Footer information for the Grouping
Columns options:
- Open the Format page of the Create
New Quick Report wizard.
- In the tree, expand Grouping Columns,
then one of the column names under it, and select Header.
- To display a header for every grouping column row, select
the Visible check box.
- Specify the text that you want to display in the grouping
column row header in the Text field.
The
default text is ='column_name: '+@[column] where 'column_name'
is the column name of the grouping column and 'column' is
the value of the given grouping column row. For example, if your grouping
column is named DEPT and it contains department numbers
of a given company, this text could generate sequential row headers
of DEPT: 10, DEPT: 20, and so on.
You can change this text to anything that you want, but it is recommended
that you keep this overall structure.
- Specify the font of the grouping column row headers in
the Font field.
- Specify the background color of the grouping column row
headers in the Background field.
- Specify the height of the header in the Height field.
- You can display charts in the Header of a grouping column.
To display a chart in the header, select Enable chart check
box. In the New chart wizard specify parameters
of the chart.
Note: If you clear the Enable
chart check box, the specified chart will not be displayed
but it is not removed from the quick report.
- You can edit a created chart in the Edit chart
properties window. To open the Edit chart properties window,
click Chart settings.
- To remove a chart, click Delete chart.
- The Footer options are identical
to the Header options. To open the Footer page,
select Footer in the tree.
- If you want to display the aggregate totals of the specified
detail columns, select the Visible check box
and specify the totals line text in the Text field.
The default text is ='Summary of ' + @[column] where
'column' is the name of a details column which values should be aggregated.
- If you have specified all the required parameters for the
quick report, click Finish to close the Create
New Quick Report wizard and display the quick report on
the Design page of the editor where you can
manually customize the look of the report.
