Modifying the fields in the Selected fields list

The Selected fields list shows all the fields that are displayed in a report output. Use the Selected fields list to modify how the fields will look in the report output. For example, you can arrange the sequence of field columns or change the name, type, width, and column span of the field.

In the standard report tree, select the report to configure. Click the report name and select Edit to open the Report details screen.
To arrange the sequence of field columns in the PDF or Excel report, use the up and down buttons in the move column of the Selected fields list. The top field in the list is displayed as the first column in the PDF or Excel report.
