2-4 Oracle Reports Users Guide to Building Reports ■ you specify the dimensions of the logical page report page in physical pages printer pages using the Horizontal Panels per Page property width and the Vertical Panels per Page property height. For example, a Horizontal Panels per Page size of 1 means that each logical page is one physical page wide, and a Vertical Panels per Page size of 2 means that each logical page is two physical pages in height. In this example, one logical page is made up of six physical pages. The logical page is three physical pages wide and two physical pages high. Consequently, Horizontal Panels per Page size is 3 and Vertical Panels per Page size is 2. If you wanted the logical page to be two physical pages wide and three physical pages high, you would specify a Horizontal Panels per Page size of 2 and a Vertical Panels per Page size of 3.

2.1.6 About conditional formatting

Using the Conditional Formatting and Format Exception dialog boxes, you can specify output formatting attributes font and color for a selected layout object based on conditions that exist. The conditions that you define are called format exceptions. You can display the Conditional Formatting dialog box from the Paper Layout view or Paper Design view in any of the following ways: ■ Double-click the object to display the Property Inspector. Under the General Layout node, click the Conditional Formatting value field labeled.... ■ Display the pop-up menu right-click in Windows for the object. ■ Click the object, then choose Format Conditional Formatting. Advanced Concepts 2-5 The Format Exception dialog box displays when you click New or Edit in the Conditional Formatting dialog box, and enables you to quickly and easily specify output formatting attributes for a selected layout object based on defined conditions. After you specify conditions and formatting for the current layout object in the Format Exception dialog box, the entire definition is exported to a PLSQL format trigger. If a format trigger already exists for the layout object, the definition in the Format Exception dialog box overwrites the existing trigger code when you confirm the Oracle Reports Builder prompt. You can edit the format trigger manually through the PLSQL Editor; however, if you subsequently modify the definition using the Format Exception dialog box, Oracle Reports Builder displays a prompt to overwrite the existing format trigger.
