- Select or Remove Columns
For reports for which you can select columns, Vantagepoint provides an initial set of columns. - Modify Column Headings
Use Heading in the Columns grid on the Columns & Groups tab to modify the heading text for a column. Name is the field name for the column, and the Heading column is the what appears on the report. Vantagepoint automatically wraps or abbreviates the Heading column in the grid if necessary. - Change Column Width on the Columns &/or Groups Tab
Vantagepoint provides default column widths, but you can change these widths depending on the information in the report. If you change the heading text, you can also change the column width to accommodate longer headings. - Set the Margin for the First Column
You set the margins for report pages as a whole on the Layout tab of the report. However, you can also set a different left margin for the first column of data if you want that column indented or offset from the left margin of the page. - Set Column Alignment
By default, Vantagepoint aligns data in columns based on the type of data in the column. However, you can change the alignment. - Turn HTML Formatting On or Off for Memo Fields
Use the HTML Formatting check box on the Layout tab to turn off or turn on HTML formatting for all memo fields on the report. Vantagepoint applies HTML formatting by default when entering original text in each memo field. - Select Background Color for Alternate Rows and Column Headings
You can specify a background color for alternating rows and also for column heading rows on a report. Use this option to make the headings and rows stand out from the rest of the report data.
