Report Setup Form

Use the Report Setup form to specify setup options for a report to be created using the Create Custom Report form. The Report Setup form has the following options:

• Current Database Table Formats File for Tables Added to the Report.

• • Use Program Default Table Formats option. When this option is selected, SAP2000 will apply default program formats for the table(s) included in the report.

  • Use Formats from User Defined Table Formats File option. When this option is selected, the Select button becomes enabled. Click the Select button to access the Database Files Format File form, which can be used to locate style sheet files (*.fmt) and apply a style sheet to a table when the table is added to the report.
    
    Thus, when this option is used, be sure to click the Report Setup button to select a style sheet file before selecting any tables to be included in the report (i.e., before highlighting a table name in the List of Tables in Current Database File area on the Create Custom Report form; see the Create Custom Report form topic for more information regarding the report creation process, including the steps to create a style sheet).

• Report Setup

• • Page Setup button. Click the Page Setup button to access the Report Item - Page Setup form.

  • Font Setup button. Click the Font Setup button to access the Report Item - Font form.

  • Cover Page Layout button. Click the Cover Page Layout button to access the Report Item - Cover Page form.

• Report Options

• • Include Database File Names with Table Titles option. When this option is selected, the report will contain the name of the table as well as the filename of the database from which the table was taken.

  • Include Filter Criteria String Beneath Table Titles option. When this option is selected, the report will show the filter criteria, if any, used in generating the table(s). The information will be presented beneath the table title(s).

  • Include Hyperlinked Contents List option. When this option is selected, SAP2000 will create a table of contents for the report and present it at the beginning of the report. The items listed in the contents will be hyperlinked to the appropriate section of the report, allowing quick access to the various sections of the report when the Report File Type is .RTF or .HTML. This option has no effect when the Report File Type is TXT.

• Apply Formats to All Tables

• • Apply from File button. Similar to the Use Formats from User Defined Table Formats File option (see above), the Apply from File button can be used to specify and apply a style sheet file (*.fmt) to the tables included in a report. However, unlike the Use Formats from User Defined Table Formats File option, the Apply from File button can be used to apply a style sheet to all tables in the report after the tables have been added to the report.

  • Apply Program Default button. Click the Apply Program Default button to apply the program default style sheet to all tables in the report.
