Editing report objects
Note! You cannot move a table to
another page or outside the
margins.
Note! A label created in a table
cannot be moved outside the table
in a Summary report.
Note! You cannot move a line past
the positions of adjacent lines.
These procedures apply to both Summary and Dynamic reports. Follow the
appropriate procedure.
Managing report files
Once you save a report, the next step is to generate the report so it can be
available for printing and display in the Operate program. Generating a report
converts it into a format that can be understood by ReportManager and Operate.
Saving reports
All report files are located in the Report subdirectory of your project directory.
Generated report files contain the *.RRT file extension and saved report files
contain the *.RPT file extension.
