Individual Settings - Report Settings

The Report Settings setting is included in the following Standard products:
  • Standard Accounts (Nominal Ledger module)

  • Standard Nominal Ledger
---

You can change the appearance and format of some Nominal Ledger reports to suit your specific requirements. This is known as changing the report's definition. The reports for which this facility is available are the Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss Report and VAT Report.

You should use the Report Settings setting to change a report definition. If you are using Standard Accounts, you will find this setting in the Nominal Ledger module. Use the [Module] button in the Master Control panel to enter this module to work with this setting. Then, as in every Standard product, open the setting by first clicking the [Settings] button in the Master Control panel and then double-clicking 'Report Settings' in the 'Settings' list. Highlight a report name in the list on the left-hand side of the 'Report Settings' window and click the [Definition] button. The subsequent definitions windows are described on the pages describing the Balance Sheet, Profit & Loss and VAT Report.

You can only use the [Definition] button with the three reports named above. You can use the remaining two buttons with every report. If you are using Standard Accounts and you change to another module using the [Module] button in the Master Control panel in the usual way, the list of reports on the left-hand side of the 'Report Settings' window will change appropriately. Highlight a report in the list and then click a button, as described below.

When you have finished working with the 'Report Settings' window, close it by clicking the close box.

Page Setup, Remove Page Setup
The [Page Setup] button allows you to set the page size, number of copies and other printer options for the highlighted report.

You can also specify the Page Setup of a report by highlighting it in the 'Reports' list and selecting 'Page Setup' from the File menu.

These settings will be used whenever the report is printed. Click the [Remove Page Setup] button to revert to standard.
