Work with reports, Description (RWRD10004)
This panel can be accessed in three different modes. If you selected the Add option from the initial Work with reports panel (RWRD10001) no fields will be completed since you are in Add mode. If you accessed this panel via the Change option all fields can be changed except the Report key field. If you entered this panel via the Display option no fields can be maintained.
On this panel you enter information concerning the overall appearance of the report. Some information concerns only letter-quality printers, and what is not valid for the printer you use, will be ignored at printout.
Click OK when you have completed all the information.

- Print all breaks
- Set this field to YES if the break levels that have not been established should also be printed. The break levels in DC1 Financials are set up in the Account file or Summary identity file as heading accounts or heading summary id’s. The break levels in DC1 Distribution are created in the Break level text table. Any break level that is missing in these files will be printed with a question mark (?) instead of the text if all breaks shall be printed. Set this field to NO if only those break levels that exist should be printed. This is only valid for reports of type 1, so for reports of type 2 leave this field blank.

- Percentage limit 1 (2) (3)
- To facilitate analysis of the report, you can state three percentage limits for deviations. A marking, which you define below, will be made on the line where the value, which is always a percentage, exceeds the limit. The column where the marking is made, must be defined as column type 23 (budget achieved %) or 43 (forecast deviation %), and it must have edit code 81. The deviation is compared with your limit, regardless of the deviation sign. Percentage limits shall be stated in whole numbers, and percentage limit 1 shall be defined as the smallest deviation.
- Percentage marking 1 (2) (3)
- Enter the marking to be made where the value exceeds the different percentage limits.
- Reverse sign
- Set this field to YES if you want reverse signs on values, e.g. positive values will be printed as negative values, and vice versa.
