Some standard reports allow you to customize the report layout, which includes selecting the columns you want to include in the report, and determining in which order the columns display. In addition, you can define multiple user-defined column layouts for the same report.
To select which column layout is used when you print the report, use the Options > Column Selection Template option in the report window. For more information, see Report Options and Printing.
Note: If you use Solar Eclipse and Eterm together and you change the default column layout for a report in the Eterm interface, you must log out of Solar Eclipse and back in to see the changes in Solar. If you make the changes in Solar Eclipse, you must log out of Solar to see the changes in Eterm.
To modify the column layout for a report:
From your report window, click the Column button 
or select File > Report Column Selection to display the Column Selection window for the report.
The system prompts you to select whether the revised report layout is for your company, or a user-defined report. Select which layout you want to modify, or select New to create a new layout and enter the layout name in the Column Selection Description field.
The system populates the window with the currently selected columns displayed on the left and the unused columns displayed on the right as follows:
|
Column |
Description |
|
On Report |
Displays column headings included on the report. In the On Report column, select a column heading you do not want to display on the report and click Remove. |
|
Width |
Displays the width in characters of each column. Enter the number of characters for the new column width and press Enter. Changes may affect the total width of the report. Each report has a maximum width, which can vary depending on whether you are running the summary or detail version of the report. However, if the column width is too small, the column title can display vertically. You may need to experiment with column size to find what works best for your company. The Total Width field is updated as you make changes. The total width determines the orientation and font size used for the report. When establishing column widths, do not exceed the maximum number of characters identified in the fields at the bottom of the window. |
|
Det (Detail) |
(View Only) An asterisk in this field indicates that the column is included in the Detail version of the report. Be sure to take the columns width into consideration as you build your report layout. |
|
Not Used |
Displays column headings that will not display on the report. In the Not Used column, highlight a column heading you do not want to display on the report and click Add. |
Move the columns you want to include to the On Report section, and those that you do not want to include to the Not Used section.
Click OK to save your report layout, or click Cancel to exit without saving.
