Defining Labels for a Custom Report

This topic describes how to define labels for a custom report.

This task is a step in Process of Creating a Custom Report With Actuate e.Report Designer Professional.

To define label controls for a custom report

1. Drag and drop the ssFrmBlueBack library component of the sscustom.rol library in the Libraries window onto the empty PageHeader slot of the ssFrmOpportunityContent tree in the Report Structure window.
2. Subclass the component you added in Step 1, and then rename it to ssFrmOpportunityHeader.

   For more information, see Subclassing an Object, and Renaming an Object.

   The page header contains column headings. Bold white column headings on a blue background are standard in Siebel reports and provides your custom report the same style.

3. Drag and drop the ssLblHead component of the sscustom.rol library in the Libraries window onto the ssFrmOpportunityHeader tree in the Report Structure window for each of the labels described in the following table.

   Label Name	Text Property
   lblOpportunity	Opportunity
   lblAccount	Account
   lblRevenue	Revenue
   lblCloseDate	Close Date

   Make sure you perform the following for each component:

   1. Use the Properties window to set the Text property.
   2. Rename the label.
4. Resize and reposition the labels so they are aligned vertically with their corresponding data controls, and so they are large enough to display their respective data without truncation. Your final layout might look similar to the following diagram:
5. In the Report Structure window, right-click the ssFrmOpportunityContent tree, choose Properties, and then set the AlternateLines property to 1.

   A line separator is automatically added to each displayed content row. The separator line creates a demarcation between report rows.

6. From the application-level menu, choose File, and then Save.
