Report Templates

Report templates enable you to create a standard look for your reports by providing re-usable components that can include standard formats and parameters as well as frames.

Most often, you would use templates to create standard headers and footers. You can choose to print template headers and footers instead of or in addition to the report headers and footers that are provided automatically. The JADE Report Writer Designer application enables you to hide a field or a section of a report (for example, page headers or report detail) so that it is not printed.

You can attach one or more templates to a report. When the report is generated, any frames defined in the template are printed for the report. For details, see Chapter 4, "Designing JADE Reports".
