Advanced Field Properties

The advanced field properties are typically the same for every field type.

Advanced Tab

Description

Visible

Enables you to toggle a field between visible and invisible.

Suppress At Totals

Enables you to suppress a field from being totaled. This is especially useful in tabular sections where numeric fields are totaled automatically by the system.

Print On Change Only

Enables you to define a field to print only when the value changes. For example, you have a report that lists several records for each of five business units. Instead of the same business unit value printing next to each associated record, the business unit value prints once for the first record. Then when the data for the next business unit begins, the new business unit value prints for the first associated record.

Global Variable

Enables you to define a field so that it can be accessed in Event Rules Design from another section of the report.
