Saving Changed Report Layout Parameters

Use

When processing a report in expert mode, for example, when executing a report group, you can make and save changes to the report layout.

Procedure

When executing a report, choose from the report output screen Settings ® Report layout. A dialog box appears where you can overwrite the layout parameters.

Make any required changes to the report layout.

To save the changed layout parameters, you can choose from the following alternative functions:

To save the changes, choose Settings ® Save settings.

To save the layout changes you made and then block all users from making layout changes in the report, choose Settings ® Save and block settings. The system automatically deselects the Change allwd dur exctn indicator in the Page/Control layout parameters. If you need to remove the block, choose Change report, then Formatting ® Report layout. On the tab page Page/control in the group box Control data, select the indicator Change allwd dur exctn.

We recommend that you save your report data as an extract. This allows you to call up your report at any time and the system does not have to reselect the data from the database. You can save the report as an extract using the Report ® Save function. If you have not already saved the report as an extract, the system displays a dialog box where you can enter the extract parameters to save the current report as an extract. For more information about extracts, see Working with Report Extracts.
