Summary

The Customise Column Extensions | Details tab allows you to:

• Use colour to:
  • Highlight Results.
  • Identify different types of cells.
• Change Drill Down column header names.

Procedure

1. Click a cell in the column that you want to customise.

   The Customise Column Extensions form appears.

3. Set up the required values, and then click OK.

Fields

Data source:

This field is disabled because you cannot change the data source for any Drill Down column.

Customise colours:

Select 'Yes' to change the colour of cells in the selected column. Use the colour palette to select foreground and background colours.

• Left-click a palette colour to set the foreground (FG).
• Right-click a palette colour to set the background (BG).

Move the brightness trackbar to the left (brighter) or right (dimmer) as required.

Caption:

Enter a header caption for the selected column. By default, this field contains the name of the selected Data source. For example, Data source = "Description" so Caption = "Description", which you could shorten to "Desc".

Save your layout

When you finish customising your layout, you must use File | Save Layout As to save your settings. Your most recently saved layout becomes the default layout, and you will see it whenever you access this window. If you do not Save Layout As, then your changes will be lost when you exit or apply another layout.
