Grid

These options allow you to show and use a grid in the Report Designer Design Window.

If Snap To Grid is Selected and components are dropped onto the report, moving and resizing is done in grid increments (GridX and GridY).

Band Name Position

Determines the position of the light grey band name in the Design Window. It can be moved to a position that interferes least with the visual display, can be turned off by selecting None.

Record Limit

When previewing reports for design purposes, you may not want to wait for the entire report to be generated. You can limit the number of records that are reported on to speed up previewing. The Record Limit is usually set to:

• No limit, for GL Financial Reports and Custom Reports.
• Limit test records to a recommended maximum of no more than 20, for documents, labels and masterfile sheets.

The Record Limit is displayed at the bottom right of the Report Designer in the status bar panel.
