Add the report title

Depending on the report structure and the information to be displayed in the report title, you can use one of the following ways to create a title for the report:

• Create a header in the list of headers defined for the column set selected for the report. Use it as the report title.

  This is the preferred method to define the title for a report that has a hierarchical structure. To include the variable data in the report title, add the report title in the list of headers defined for the column set.

• Define a caption in the first row of the row set selected for the report.

  This method can be used when the report has a flat structure and variable data should not be used in the report title.

Use the column sets headers to set up the report title

To set up the report title by using the headers defined for the columns set, perform the following steps:

1. Open the Column sets (CS206020) window, and select the column set used in the report.

2. Click the New button in the Headers section of the Column sets (CS206020) window.

3. Select a column where to define header in the Headers section of the Column sets (CS206020) window.

   The report title definition can span one or multiple columns. For example, a short text can be displayed in one column and the variable data in the other.

   To display the report title in the centre of the header line, select the first column to define the header.

4. In the selected column in Headers section of the Column sets (CS206020) window, enter the header text, or enter the formulas to display variable data in the report title if needed.

5. Set the range of columns where the report title will be displayed.

   • In the column containing the header, click the lookup button. The dialog box containing the column range and header style parameters appears.
   • Enter the relevant values in the Columns range elements in the opened dialog box. Note that the start value in the columns range should contain the reference to the column where the report title is defined.

6. Set the header style parameters.

   • In the dialog box containing the column range and header style, set the formatting parameters for the header text and background.

7. Use the Shift up and Shift down buttons in the Headers toolbar of the Column sets (CS206020) window to move the report title to the top position in the headers list.

8. Click Save button in the window toolbar to save the changes.

Using the row sets captions to set up the report title

To set up the report title by using the captions defined for the Row sets, use the following steps:

1. Open the Row sets (CS206010) window and select the row set used in the report.

   For the detailed description of operations with the row sets, see the View and edit row sets - overview section.

2. In the Rows table, click the New button to add a new row to the row set.

3. Set the Code parameter for the new row.

   The code for the created row should be selected to make it the first row in the row set.

4. Enter the Description text for the new row.

   This text will be displayed in the report title.

5. Select the Caption value for the Type parameter of the new row.

6. Set the Style parameter values for the row to define the report title formatting.

7. Click Save in the window toolbar of the Row sets (CS206010) window to save the changes.
