Styling Reports in WebFOCUS Designer


You can apply styling changes to a report to help it visually match the styling of your other content, and make it easier to read and more visually appealing. You can style a report from the Format tab on the Properties panel.

On the Format tab, you can use the quick access menu to select the section or component of the report whose styling properties you want to change, as shown in the following image.


Quick access menu for reports

You can style the following sections or components of a report:

  • General. Set properties, such as a theme, font, or background color, that affect the entire report.
  • Columns. Format the text and cells for column titles and data values.
  • Column Groups. Format the text and cells for column group, also known as across column, field titles and data values. You can create column groups by adding dimensions to the Column Groups bucket in a report.
  • Totals. Set text and cell properties for column totals and subtotals.
  • Row Totals. Set text and cell properties for row totals.

If you are styling Columns, Column Groups, or Row Totals in a report, you can select a specific field whose title or values you want to style. You can revert the changes you made in any area by clicking Reset styling on the Format tab. Only the settings in the selected area are reset.
