Setting Report Styles

Report styles enable a Report Creator to control the fonts, colors and borders on report elements.

To set the styles for a report:

  1. Click the Style tab on the Report page.
  2. Adjust any of the style attributes in the left column. The sample annotation and table on the right side of the page show changes while editing.

Adjust font and border attributes by selecting values from the appropriate list. Adjust color attributes by clicking on the appropriate color icon and choosing a color from the palette that appears.

  • DM_ReportsFont.gif Use the color icon with the letter T to set text color.
  • DM_ReportsColor.gif Use the color icon with the paint bucket to set background color.

 

Click any color within the color palette to select that color, then click OK to apply it. It is also possible to manually enter a color in the text box at the top of the color palette. The color must be formatted as a web color, with a pound sign, followed by 6 hexadecimal digits (e.g. #FF09C3). This option may be useful for organizations whose publications must adhere to a defined stylesheet or color palette.
