Text Option dialog

The dialog is displayed when you set the Default Format for Viewing Report property of a report tab or a web report to Text and then click in the value cell in the Report Inspector. It helps you to specify the parameters for running a report in Text format. See the dialog.

The following are details about options in the dialog:

Delimited Format

Specifies whether to use the delimited format for the Text result.

User Defined Density

Specifies whether to use user defined density for the Text result.

Notes:

Compress

Specifies whether to generate the Text result in a compressed size, that is to say, there will be no clearance between the columns.

Header and Footer

If checked, the Text result will contain all headers and footers in the report, including Report Header/Footer, Page Header/Footer and Group Header/Footer. Otherwise, the Text result will only contain data in Detail panel.

Windows End-of-line (CR-LF)

Specifies to use Windows end-of-line characters to indicate the start of a new line. If checked, two characters <cr> and <lf> will be used at the end of the line.

Unix End-of-line (LF)

Specifies to use Unix End-of-line characters to indicate the start of a new line. If checked, only the Unix End-of-line character <lf> will be used.

Run Linked Report

If the report is linked with other reports, you can check whether or not to generate the linked reports in the Text result. If you are only interested in the primary report, leave this option unchecked. Generating linked reports at the same time, especially when the linked reports contain a large amount of data, will cause performance issue.

OK

Applies the changes and closes the dialog.

Cancel

Cancels the changes and exits the dialog.
