 Specify Filter for New Report Window

The Specify Filter for New Report window allows you to enter query specifications when creating a new report.  The query specifications will determine which records are included in the report.

Query criteria consist of a value preceded by one of the following operators:

=	Equal to

<>	Not equal to

>	Greater than

>=	Greater than or equal to

<	Less than

<=	Less than or equal to

$	Contains

If no query criteria is specified, equal to (=) is assumed.

All the query operators, except $, work by comparing the specified query criteria to the left-most portion of the record data.  If they are equal, the record is included in the report.  The $ operator, Contains, works by scanning the record data to determine if the specified query criteria occurs anywhere within the record data.  If the specified query criteria occurs anywhere within the record data, the record is included in the report.  The $ operator can not be used with the following fields:  Quantity, Property Cost, Claim, Purchase Date, and Warranty Date.  The $ operator consumes more system resources than the other query operators.

The Ignore Case on Query option on the main menu determines how the specified query criteria is compared to the record data.  When selected, the case of the characters is ignored when determining if the two strings match, i.e. an "A" equals an "a".  When not selected, the case of the characters is considered when determining if the two strings match, i.e. an "A" does NOT equal an "a".

If all fields are left blank, then all records will be included in the report.

If your query returns no records, a message box is displayed asking if you want to return all records or specify new query criteria.

The EXIT button will continue the report creation process.

Print Preview Window


 Print Preview Window

The print preview window displays the created or saved report, one page at a time.  From the Menu bar, the report can be printed, paged backward and forward, and paged to the first page and last page of the report.  If Enhanced Print Preview is on, then the report can be "Zoomed" in and out.  Also, when you exit the report, you are asked if you want to SAVE the report for later retrieval.

The "File" menu item has two sub-items, "Print" and "Exit".

Click the "|<" menu item will display the first page of the report.  Click the "<" menu item to display the previous page of the report.  Click the ">" menu item to display the next page of the report.  Click the ">|" menu item to display the last page of the report.  Shortcut:  Press the F8 or Page Down key to display the next page of the report.  Press the F7 or Page Up key to display the previous page of the report.  Press the Home key to display the first page of the report.  Press the End key to display the last page of the report.

If Enhanced Print Preview is on, then click the "Zoom Out" menu item to view the full page of the report.  Click the "Zoom In" menu item to revert to normal print preview.  Enhanced Print Preview consumes more system resources and can considerably slow print preview.  We do not recommend using this option with systems having less than eight megabytes of RAM.

The F3 key can be used instead of clicking the EXIT button to return to the New Report or Saved Report window.

NOTE:  If a printer font is chosen that does not have a corresponding screen font, then "MS Sans Serif" will be used during print preview.

About


Reports Option Menu Item

The reports menu item has the following sub-menu items:  Brief Report, Enhanced Print Preview, Fit Report to Page, Include Additional Info Data, Location Separators, and Margins.

The Brief Report item will display a check mark next to it if it is turned on.  Simply click the item to toggle between brief reports on and brief reports off.  Brief Reports on causes all Property Listed by... and Claim Listed by... reports to display/print one line per item.  The line will contain the Property Description, Unit Cost, Quantity, and Total Cost.  No other data will be displayed or printed, even if Include Additional Info Data is on.

The Enhanced Print Preview item will display a check mark next to it if it is turned on.  Simply click the item to toggle between enhanced print preview on and enhanced print preview off.  Enhanced print preview allows Zoom Out, full-page print preview, and Zoom In, normal print preview.  Enhanced Print Preview consumes more system resources and can considerably slow print preview.  We do not recommend using this option with systems having less than eight megabytes of RAM.

The Fit Report to Page item will display a check mark next to it if it is turned on.  Simply click the item to toggle between fit report to page on and fit report to page off.  Fit Report to Page allows the full page width to be used when printing.  By default, all the reports will print an 80 column report and will truncate data if necessary to fit within the 80 columns.  If your printer supports greater than 80 columns, normally via landscape mode, then turning fit report to page on will cause reports to be spread across the entire width of the page.  This will reduce or eliminate any truncation of data.  You may also adjust printer font sizes via the fonts menu item to reduce or eliminate data truncation.

The Include Additional Info Data item will display a check mark next to it if it is turned on.  Simply click the item to toggle between include additional info data on and include additional info data off.  Include Additional Info Data determines if the Additional Information data element will be included on the Property Listed by... and Claim Listed by ... reports.  Since this field can be up to 1400 characters in length, it may be appropriate not to include this data element on reports.

The Location Separator menu item will display a check mark next to it if  location separator is turned on.  Simply click the location separator menu item to toggle between location separator on and location separator off.  If location separators is on, separator pages will be printed between location breaks.  These pages will have printed on them the current location information.  Page numbers will restart at one after each separator pages.  Location separator works for the Property Listed by... and Claim Listed by... reports.  Location separator pages do NOT display when doing a print preview.

Click on the Margins item to display the Set Print Margins Window, which is used to adjust top/bottom and sides print margins.
