Overview of Report Output Columns

The output columns you add to a report display tabular information about your data.

Output columns are added to the data area of each output level. After an output column is added to the output level, you can move the column, change the column headers, add notes to the column, change the column’s display, and add calculations to tally the values shown in the column. You can also create data exceptions to highlight data returned in the columns. For example, if you want to highlight all incidents in a report that are unresolved and overdue, you could create data exceptions to display these records in bold red text.

Output columns can be any of these.
  • Fields from the database
  • Functions
  • Variables
  • Computed fields
All of these items can be added from the ribbon or by dragging the field from the data dictionary to the design surface.
