Using the Preview Sheet

Use the Preview sheet of the Report Properties dialog to maintain options that apply to your print preview display.

These options apply only to the print preview that is displayed when you click the Print Preview tab on your main JADE Report Designer window. They do not apply to printing, even if you have requested printing from the Print Preview sheet. For more details, see Chapter 5.

To change the print preview options for your report

1. Click the Preview tab of the Report Properties dialog.

   The Preview sheet, shown in the following image, is then displayed.

   

2. In the Maximum objects to report text box, limit the size of your preview display by specifying the maximum number of detail items that are returned from the report query for the preview. The default value of zero (0) indicates that there is no limit to the number of detail items to be returned.

3. In the Maximum pages to print text box, limit the size of your preview display by specifying the maximum number of pages to print. The default value of zero (0) indicates that there is no limit to the number of pages to print or preview.

4. Click another tab if you want to make changes on other sheets of the Report Properties dialog.

5. Click the Apply button to apply the changes you have made or click the Close button to close the Report Properties dialog.

   To save the recent changes when you close the dialog, you must click the Apply button immediately prior to closing the dialog. To abandon any changes that you made but not yet applied, do not click the Apply button immediately prior to clicking the Close button.
