Production > Reports > Report Layout > General

The General settings for report builder dialog opens when you click General in the main Report Layout dialog.

Page height

Set the page height of the Excel report. The system inserts page breaks at points where the set page height is reached. When the page height is set to zero, or is not set at all, page breaks are inserted according to the Lines per Page setting. By default the value is set to 0 (zero).

Lines per Page

Set the number of lines after which a new page should begin. The system adds page breaks at points where the set number of lines (rows) is reached. The number includes the lines of the header, footer, and any extra space between lines. This setting should match the page length for the selected printer. This setting has no effect if Page height is set.

Group lines

Set the number of lines after which extra space (a blank line) should be inserted. If no extra space should be added, enter 0. No start or end symbols will be placed in these blank lines.

Start/End symbol

Set the symbol to be placed at the beginning and end of each line. These symbols will not be placed within extra space or in the header and footer lines. The Production > Reports > Settings > Column Separators option can be used to set the symbols available here.

Date format

Select the date format for dates that are displayed in the report.

Default selection criterion

Set the default values for selection criteria. These criteria will be stored for each report layout.

See Default selection criterion in the Managing Production Information Administrator's Guide for more information.
