Manage Report Column (Data Element) Properties
You can refine the display of the report columns by modifying the data element properties. You can modify the column heading, width and alignment, as well as hide a column, or choose to display the timestamp for date pickers.
To view or modify column properties
- In the Edit Report window, Data Elements tab, select the listed data element and click Modify.
- You can modify the column heading, column width, and alignment for how you want it to appear in the report results.
- Click OK.
To hide data elements in the report output
- Select the listed data element and click Modify.
- Select Hide Column if you do not want the column to appear on the report (for example, columns added as part of a formula calculation but do not need to be printed).
- Click OK.
To display the timestamp on date data elements
- Select the listed date picker data element and click Modify. For date picker elements that include timestamps, the Data Element Properties window displays an additional option: Display Timestamp. This option is not available for data elements based on date-only pickers, or other elements that do not capture timestamps.
Note: The Schedule Manager ignores timestamps, therefore, date fields associated with the Schedule Manager will not display the time, even if this option is selected.
- Select Display Timestamp. At runtime, the time displays next to the date.
- Click OK.
To remove a listed data element
Select the data element to remove from the report and click Remove.
To change the order of the data element columns
Select a data element from the list. Click Move Up (Left) to move the element up the list to the left on the report), or Move Down (Right) to move it down to the right on the report.
To choose the column by which to sort the report
- Click the Sort button.
- In the Column Heading list box, select the data element column by which you want to sort the report findings. For example, choose Creator Name to sort by the creator of each record.
- Click the right arrow button >> to move it to the Sort By field.
- In the Sort Order list, choose Ascending or Descending. Click OK.
