In this tab, you specify and define the constant part - the label
lines - which make up the layout of your current Report. A dynamic print preview
window displays a simulation of the label lines output.
Defining/modifying the label lines which make up the layout of your
Report, must be done in the -L lines tab of a Report
editor open.
You create your layout label lines from the-L lines Definition list
that you find in the left area of the tab:
- If there is no -L lines yet in the -L lines definition list, click
directly on the Add... button to create a first line.
Otherwise, set your cursor on a line already defined, and click the button
then. As a result, a new line is inserted just below the former one.
- A default zero value is assigned to the label line to identify
the label on the line and an icon with a red cross warns you that the label
must be defined. To define the characteristics of the label, complete the
fields in the Label Definition section, which opens in
the right area of the tab.
- Click on the line then to refresh and display the label identifier
and the line label numbers.
- To delete a label lines in your layout, use the Remove... button.
- To organize the lines differently in the layout, use the move up
or down buttons.
- To display a view of your layout before you start generating, click
the Preview button in the Label Definition section: A
preview window gives you a dynamic view of the lines you have been created
in the -L lines tab. You can leave the window open and see instantaneous updates.
