Report Layout and Design

When you create a report or label, you can customize the appearance of the report or label by making the following changes to the page layout in the Report Designer or Label Designer:

• Change settings and properties for page.

• Arrange data and information by specifying where and when they appear using report bands.

• Group records using data groups.
