Options to change the appearance of stock reports
● Move to a stock report (Main menu - Print - Orders by Material)
The program displays the report on screen in the 'Report viewer'.
● Select: View
The program shows the View menu for stock reports.
The options are:-
Grid labels
These are the grey header row and column shown on a report. By default they are not shown. Use this option to switch the grid labels on or off.
The grid labels are required if the column or row sizes have to be changed. They show the extent of each row and column. Use the mouse to drag the border of each column or row to alter the size.
Moving columns - To select a column or row click on the indicator cells. Hold down the mouse key to drag the column to a new location. More than one column can be selected.
Double click on a column header (at the point where the column grab handle appears) to size the column to fit the data.
Grid lines
Select this option to show or hide lines for each row and column of the grid.
The default is to not show the grid lines.
Zoom

Option to show or hide the status bar at the foot of the dialog. Select the menu item to toggle between these choices.
Resize columns
Select one of the options to set how the number of columns and the width of the columns are adjusted:-

These options adjust the column widths automatically.
This only applies to the current report
Any existing manual changes to column widths etc are lost.
The program does not automatically adjust the report when the data is refreshed or the report view is changed. The current column sizes are saved for each report - this means that any manual changes made after applying one of these options are retained.
