Banner title

Banner title lets you give a descriptive title to your banner. For example, you might have a description such as ‘Usage by Age’ for a banner with columns representing age groups.

Enter the title in the Banner title field (up to 480 characters on up to 4 lines). Text automatically wraps, but you can specify where the text will wrap by entering multiple lines in the Banner title window. Pipe symbols (|) are inserted in the banner title of the job file (View|Job File) automatically when multiple lines are entered. Keep in mind that regardless of how many characters you enter on each line, text will wrap based on the Table title width specified on the Table Presentation tab of Setup|Job Settings for Plain Text Reports or on the Enhanced Text Reports tab of Setup|Job Settings for Enhanced Text Reports. For example, if you enter 50 characters on the first line and 50 characters on the second line and your table title width is set at 40, the text will wrap at 40 characters and then wrap again at the end of the first line, then wrap at 40 characters from the second line and again for the remaining 10 characters of the second line, resulting in 4 lines of row text. Alternatively, you can specify where words should break by inserting a pipe symbol (|) at the point where you want the break to occur.

Use the Center Banner Title option from the Layout dropdown menu on the Banner Editor dialog box to center the banner title.

You can choose to Display Banner Title Above Table Title or Display Banner Title Below Table Title from the Layout dropdown menu on the Banner Editor dialog box. If you choose either, the title displays/prints in the table of contents and on the table in the position you indicate.

A Banner title is optional.

Use the Backspace key or Spacebar to remove a banner title or select Do Not Display Banner Title from the Layout dropdown menu to suppress the display of the Banner title.

Filter title

If you enter a Filter title, it displays/prints below the table title in the table of contents and the table. If you don't want a Filter title to appear, do not enter a Filter title.

Enter the title (up to 480 characters on up to 4 lines) in the Filter title field. Text automatically wraps, but you can specify exactly where the text will wrap by entering multiple lines in the Filter title window. Pipe symbols (|) are inserted in the banner title of the job file (View|Job File) automatically when multiple lines are entered. Keep in mind that regardless of how many characters you enter on each line, text will wrap based on the Table title width specified on the Table Presentation tab of Setup|Job Settings for Plain Text Reports or on the Enhanced Text Reports tab of Setup|Job Settings for Enhanced Text Reports. For example, if you enter 50 characters on the first line and 50 characters on the second line and your table title width is set at 40, the text will wrap at 40 characters and then wrap again at the end of the first line, then wrap at 40 characters from the second line and again for the remaining 10 characters of the second line, resulting in 4 lines of row text. Alternatively, you can specify where words should break by inserting a pipe symbol (|) at the point where you want the break to occur.
