*The Financial Statement Designer embeds the logo into your design; it does not actively link to your Ajera database. If you change the logo or import a design from another database, you may need to delete and add the logo property back into the design to ensure that the logo you want appears. |
- If a cell option does not fit your information need, you can manually enter the information into the cell.
For example, statement descriptions, such as Profit and Loss Statement, are not cell options. You must type the description into the cell.
- If your statement title consists of more than one row, repeat these instructions for each row.
Step 2: Changing the formatting
- Use the toolbar to do the following, as needed:
- Merge cells if your title information spans more than one cell.
- Format the title by changing the font style, size, color, border, and so on.
As you work, use the Preview tab constantly to see your changes.
Note: | Save your work frequently while designing a statement. |
- If your statement title consists of more than one row, repeat these instructions for each row.
