Defining Report Pages
Report pages define formatting elements common to every page of a report, such as headers, footers, titles, and column layout. Report pages also define report titles. Pages can be shared by many reports, allowing you to define a standard look for all reports generated by Vector HelpDesk.
Vector HelpDesk comes with a set of predefined pages. You can adapt these templates to your specific requirements, or define entirely new pages.
To open the Page Editor:
On the Tools menu, click Report, then click Page Editor.
Choose
a page from the Name list. You can then edit, delete, or rename the page.
To
use one page as a starting point for a new page, choose a page from the Name
list, click Copy, and give the new page a name.
To
create a page from scratch, click New.
You can use the Page editor to define headers, footers, and titles for your reports. In addition to typing and formatting plain text, you can insert placeholders for the current date, time, and page number. When you generate your report, these placeholders are replaced with values.
