Field Description
Name This grid column displays the column name.

The column name is not the column heading for the report. Heading (described below) displays the default column heading.

Heading Enter the heading that is displayed on the report for the column. If you enter a heading that is longer than the space for the heading, you might need to adjust the column width in Width. Headings automatically wrap to 2 lines if they do not fit in the width of the column.
Width Enter the width of the column in either inches or millimeters based on which one you selected in the Unit of Measure field on the Layout tab.

If you select inches, enter fractions using decimals (for example 1.00, 1.5, and so on).

By default, Vantagepoint provides column widths suitable for the default heading text in Heading. If you enter a longer heading, you can adjust the column width.

Format For date, currency, number columns, and memo columns, this field displays the format in which the report presents the column value. To change the format, click in the Format column and select the format that you want to change.
