Report Designer settings
You can use the menu to change Report Designer settings. This table shows the options on the menu:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Show Field Name | Initially the Report Designer shows the field values as they were displayed on the report. Select this option to show the field names (print expression) instead. This is useful if, for example, several fields have the same content, or fields are empty. |
| Show Field Data | Select this option to switch back to the initial setting, so that field values are displayed instead of field names. |
| Grid Size | Use this sub-menu to change the size of the grid and text in the editor. This does not affect the report. This can make text easier to read, or give a better overview of the report layouts. |
| Show Rulers | Use this option to toggle the visibility of the rulers in the editor. The rulers indicate the size of the report layouts and the current position of the cursor. |
| Show Grid | Use this option to toggle the grid visibility. This does not change the grid-based editing behavior of the editor. |
| Show Grid During Preview | Select this option to make the grid visible on the actual report when the preview option is used. This option can be useful to properly position and resize fields. |
| Unit | Use this submenu to change the units that are displayed in the Report Designer. This applies to the rulers, and the properties that are specified as a length. |
| Report Personalization History | Starts the Report Personalization - History (ttadv9508m000) session. |
| Save Layout | Select this option to save the settings.
The options on the menu and the panel sizes are remembered as part of the workbench settings. These are also saved when you click in the main toolbar. |
| Reset Layout | Select this option to reset all options to their default setting. |
| About | Starts a dialog box with version information. |
