Table Properties - Detail Tab

Access this tab using Reports>Forms Designer>OK button>Insert Table> Properties.

Use this tab to set up properties for the detail data in the table. You can add a border, add horizontal/vertical lines around the cells, adjust the row height, and change the font.

Detail: Use this group box to format the detail data in the table.

  • Border: Select this check box to add a border around the detail data in the table.
  • Horizontal Lines: Select this check box to add horizontal lines to separate the detail data in the table.
  • Vertical Lines: Select this check box to add vertical lines to separate the detail data in the table.
  • Autofit Row Height: Select this check box to allow the height of each row to be calculated independently and will therefore accommodate for the printing of long charge code descriptions. If this is selected, Row Height is not available, but Space Between Rows is available. This field only appears if A/R Invoices was selected on the Create New Layout form.
  • Font: Click the Font button to change the font, style, and size of the text. The system default is Arial, Regular, 10 pt.
  • Space Between Rows: Enter (in inches) how much space you want between the calculated rows. This is only available if you selected Autofit Row Height and if you selected A/R Invoices on the General tab.
  • Row Height: Enter the row height (in inches) for the cells in the table. This is not available if Autofit Row Height is selected.

Detail Table: Use this group box to adjust the heading names; enter the desired width of the columns; and select the alignment and format of the text. Also select whether or not the columns display in the table.

  • Column Name: The system displays a list of available column names.
  • Heading: The system defaults to the "Column Name," but it can be changed. Enter the heading name of the column to appear in the table.
  • Width: Enter the desired width of the column.
  • Show: Select this check box to display the column in the table. If the check box is not selected, the column is hidden on the layout.
  • Align: Select the text alignment within the column—Left, Center, or Right.
  • Format: Select the format of the column. For example, for two places after the decimal, select the 0.00 format. If Default is selected as the format, current fields follow the formatting that was set up on the Organization>Currency Setup form.

To change the order of the columns, select the column using the row selector (the left most column in the table). Then, drag it using the mouse to the desired position in the table.
