Using the Number Sheet

Use the Number sheet of the Report Formats dialog to set the default formats for numeric fields.

To change the default report formats for numeric fields

1. Click the Number tab of the Report Formats dialog. The Number sheet is then displayed.

2. The Use System Default check boxes are checked by default. The check box on the left applies to whole number formats and the check box on the right applies to decimal formats. If you make any changes to the controls on this dialog, the corresponding Use System Default check box automatically unchecks itself, indicating that system default values set by the Jade Report Writer Configuration application are no longer being used. Alternatively, to begin making your changes, you can manually uncheck these check boxes.

   To revert to the system default values at any time during the report design process, you can check either or both of the Use System Default check boxes.

The remaining controls on this sheet on the Report Formats dialog are identical to those on the Number sheet of the System Formats dialog and are described under "Number Sheet" in Chapter 3.
