Deleting the Unnecessary Information

The Instant Layout option formatted the report layout with band lines, calculated fields, and text fields. Because you will not use all the automatically generated band lines and fields, delete those you do not need from the layout.

Follow these steps to remove the unnecessary information from the report layout:

  1. Delete the master table text field from the first title band line. Because this report does not display any fields from the master table, this information is not useful.
  2. Delete the field name text field from the page header band line.
  3. Delete the record band line. This report, like most cross-tab reports, uses only group footer and summary band lines to display the report totals.
  4. Delete the Records printed: text field and the Recno_rb calculated field from the second summary band line. For this report, it is not necessary to display the number of records printed.
