Create Fill-In-The-Blank Column

The Report Field Options window, accessible from the Report Setup window, allows you to create an empty fill-in-the-blank column to allow end users to enter data onto a printed report.

  1. Select the field you want to use for the fill-in-the-blank column from the Display field.

    You can use any field to create a fill-in-the-blank column, as there will be no field values displayed in the report. Many clients select a User field and then re-label the column.

  2. Click the Edit button.

    The Report Field Options window for the selected field opens.

  3. If you want to enter a custom label for the column, enter the label in the Field Label (Custom) field.

  4. Select the Yes option button for the Blank Line If Selected setting.

    This setting changes the column to a fill-in-the-blank column.

  5. Click the Apply button.

    You are returned to the Report Setup window.

  6. Click the Apply button.

    Your changes are saved. The Report Preview window displays showing the fill-in-the-blank column. If you accessed the Report Setup window from the Report List, you are returned to the Report List.
