Column Masks

A column mask is created for columns where the decimal position remains the same for all rows in the grid. These columns are always non-currency fields in a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne table. The decimal position is determined by data dictionary properties for the data item on which the column is based.

Mask columns follow the naming convention <column name> Mask. For example, if the data set has the decimal column Unit Price, the corresponding mask column is Unit Price Mask. The Layout Editor's Data Source pane displays mask columns in the Columnmasks folder. Additionally, if the report's data table includes decimal columns, the Formatting Mask property on the Properties > Data Formatting pane displays the decimal format mask for each decimal column.

Mask columns are listed only if there is a column in the original data set which requires a column mask.
