6.1 Introduction to Formatting Views
Formatting changes the way parts of the view look. A report can contain several views of different types. You apply formatting to each view in a report.
Formatting includes tasks such as adding display titles, formatting text and colors, and changing value formats. Several formatting features apply to specific view types only.
Because each of the view types has different characteristics and structures, formatting options change depending on the view type.
When you create or edit a view, select the Properties button to display the formatting options.
6.2 Configuring General Formatting Properties
General formatting properties are those properties that are common to all views of a particular type. However there are a few properties described in this section that are
general to all view types.
