Assigning a Query Layout

Use the Assign Query Layout window to specify the appearance of each column of data (or field) in the query.

To set the layout options:

  1. Open Query Builder and click the Layout tab.
  2. Add or edit a Layout field.
  3. Specify this information:
    Caption
    The name for the column heading.
    Width
    The size of the column width. The default value is 100.

    Any group width changes you make are applicable only for the current logon session.

    Capt. Align
    The alignment of the column heading.
    Text Align
    The alignment of the data.
    Format Type
    The appropriate format for the type of data displayed in this field.
    Note: The Phone format type formats the value of a field into a standard U.S. 10-digit phone number. If your company does not use the standard U.S. 10-digit format, you must consider setting the format type for a phone number field to None to prevent any phone number mask from being applied.
    Format
    If required, specify a format string to modify the default Format Type you selected.
  4. To link the information in the column to an entity portal view, select Entity Linked.
  5. To apply formatting from a cascading style sheet (CSS), specify the class you want to apply in the Css Class field.
