One of the most important features of the reporting system is the capability of the users to design reports and save the designs. The user defined fields can be used along with the standard fields in report designs. The user can define new fields by generating arithmetical operations with the defined fields. In this way, the information saved and the operations performed in the application can be reported as requested.
The fields requested to be included in the report in addition to standard fields, the contents of these fields and the page setup of the report are specified during report design.
A standard report design is recorded as default for each report in the sections of the LOGO application.
The report is generated on the selected report unit according to the existing standard design or the design prepared by the user. The User Report Design box is checked to use the user-designed reports. The recorded report designs are listed and the appropriate definition is selected.
The user can prepare a report template for each report using the Design button of the relevant report screen.
A new report template is generated by clicking the "New" button and selecting a
- Standard Layout
- Empty Layout
from the query box.
When Standard Layout is selected, a standard designed defined as default in the application is used. If Empty Layout is selected, a blank design window is opened and the fields to be included in the report and their properties are specified by the user.
The report designs are recorded by using "Design" and "Simple Design" options located in the report screen.
