Columns

The system enables you to work with two types of columns: static columns and variable columns. Static columns include text. You can change the default values for the text, but cannot apply any formulas or functions to these static columns. The system provides five static columns that you can use as headings for rows. If you do not need to use all of the static columns, indicate that the columns should not be visible in the report when you modify columns.

Variable columns are columns for which you can apply formulas and functions. You define the number of variable columns for a section when you define the sections. You can also add additional columns when you select to work with columns.

When you work with variable columns, you can specify the title for the column and whether to apply a formula, function, or factor to the column. Formulas and functions are discussed in another section of this overview. Factors are defined in the Factor to Apply (74/FR) UDC table.
