Customizing settings item visibility

To make a settings item available in the report customization window, use the User-defined settings item properties command in the item customization window.

Then you can specify that this is a custom item and also specify a presentation for the item and its editing mode (ordinary, quick access, or unavailable), see fig. 157.

Fig. 157. Adding a custom settings item

In the settings structure list, you can use the User-defined settings item properties command to set up the custom settings for the current structure item.

Each structure item has its own assortment of customizable items.

Use the User-defined settings item properties command to change the following settings:

• In a filter list: the settings for the current filter item/filter item groups.
• In a list of output parameters and data parameters: settings for the current parameter.
• In a conditional appearance list: settings for the current conditional appearance item.

Note. If a setting is included in the custom settings, when a report is executed, the setting value is retrieved from the custom settings and not from the report option settings. When you edit a report option, modification of a setting included in the custom settings has no effect because the setting value is retrieved from the custom settings.

Besides, the User-defined settings command available on the report structure command bar (see the figure below) opens a window that displays the settings along with their default values.
