Using QMF


QMF form panels

You change the appearance of your reports by changing report information on the QMF form panels. There are nine QMF form panels. You specify a different part of your report information on each panel. You can also customize reports from within Windows environments by using the QMF for Windows feature. See Appendix D, The QMF High Performance Option for more information.

Figure 74 shows the QMF form panels and their purposes.
