Layout: How the fields and controls will be arranged in the report.

  • Columnar: The columnar layout displays the headers to the left of the data and lists the data in a column.

  • Tabular: The tabular layout displays the headers once at the top of the pages and the data is listed in rows beneath the headers.

  • Justified: The justified layout displays the headers above the data at every data entry.

  • Labels: The labels layout is similar to the columnar layout, but it only displays the text and has no headers or footers.  It is intended for printing off labels to turn into stickers, etc. Use grouping to define the content on individual stickers.
