You can specify the characters used to specify Unset text, which enables you to specify some text to be output for an attribute which does not exist for an element, for example DESC on a CYLI element.
Headings
For reports without sorting or totaling Headings will normally be On. For example of switching Headings off, see Sort and Total. The Page option is only used for file reports. for further information, see File Reports .
Heading Text
The Heading Text can be set to:
-
Expression Text
which will use the expression entered in the Expression text box on the Creating Column form. For example, CLLE for the center line length.
-
Default
which will use the full Outfitting attribute name if possible. For example, if you enter CLLE in the Expression text box, the column heading will be CENTRE LINE LENGTH.
-
Custom
in which case you should enter the text required in the text box. You can insert several lines of text. The Centre Line Length template, which has the heading split over two lines, is an example.
Values
For reports without sorting or totaling Values will normally be On. For examples of the other options see Sort and Total.
Subtotals and Totals
Totals can only be produced for columns containing numeric data, and which do not have the Subtotal option set. for further information, see Sort and Total.
