Customize Column Format

The Report Field Options window, accessible from the Report Setup window, allows you to customize the style of the column in which a field is displayed. You can apply special formatting such as borders or background colors.

1. Select the field you want to modify from the Display field.

2. Click the Edit button.

   The Report Field Options window for the selected field opens.

3. Click the Format field to view the available format options.

4. Select the desired format from the Format field.

   Maintenance Connection automatically displays the required style tag in the Format Style field below the dropdown.

   You can also enter your desired formatting directly into the Format Style field.

5. Click the Apply button.

   You are returned to the Report Setup window.

6. Click the Apply button.

7. Your changes are saved. The Report Preview window displays showing the new column style. If you accessed the Report Setup window from the Report List, you are returned to the Report List.

   You can also apply conditional formatting to column data. As an example, you could create conditional criteria that would make the Replacement Cost field colored or bordered only if the cost was greater than $100.00 for the given record. Conditional formatting is performed on the Style/Format tab.
