Use

You can assign a report layout to each report that you create. The report layout defines the layout features of the report, such as the page format of the report and the numeric format of the report data. When you use the Layout functions, you can set parameters for the report.

Features

You have two options for assigning a layout:

Report Painter: copy of standard layout (may not be current)

The report layout establishes layout parameters that apply to the whole report (such as the page layout). It also contains parameters that can be defined separately for each section (such as summation levels ). These section-specific parameters defined by the report layout are valid only for report sections that do not have their own section layout .
