About using level override report parameters for a Style 3 report
You can define level override report parameters when generating a Style 3 report. Level override report parameters override the row line information that was already defined for the Style 3 report. This can be a time saving procedure if you have a Style 3 report defined with a large number of row lines with accounts and accounting units, and you want to see the same account information for a different company or segment of a company. The application substitutes the level override report parameters into the level definition in the Both Rows subform and uses the row definition to fill in the rest.
Example
Mary has defined a Style 3 report using these information in a Both Type row for company 4321:
Row line | Company number | Accounting unit | Account |
---|---|---|---|
10 | 4321 | ( )-99 | 11100-0000 |
20 | 4321 | ( )-99 | 11100-0001 |
30 | 4321 | ( )-99 | 11100-0002 |
40 | 4321 | ( )-99 | 11100-0003 |
She likes to see the same report for company 5321. She can define level override report parameters for this report and override the company number 4321 to generate the same report for company 5321. This essentially produces a report from these information:
Row line | Company number | Accounting unit | Account |
---|---|---|---|
10 | 5321 | ( )-99 | 11100-0000 |
20 | 5321 | ( )-99 | 11100-0001 |
30 | 5321 | ( )-99 | 11100-0002 |
40 | 5321 | ( )-99 | 11100-0003 |
The override does not permanently change the information that was defined for company 4321, it simply overrides it for this particular report.
