Template Objects

Anything that appears in the template is called an "object". When selected, objects display "nodes"
that are used to re-size the object.

·When a corner node is selected, the cursor changes to a double ended oblique arrow, used to re-size
both horizontally and vertically at the same time. Hold the cursor over the corner node. Click and hold
down the left mouse button and drag the corner node to re-size the object.

·The center nodes (between the corners) re-size either horizontally or vertically, depending on the node
selected. When a center node is selected, the cursor changes to either a horizontal or vertical double
ended arrow. Hold the cursor over the center node. Click and hold down the left mouse button and
drag the center node to increase either the height or width of the object.

·Once an object is selected, (showing its nodes) you can move it by pointing the cursor over the object,
anywhere within the nodes. Click and hold down the left mouse button, dragging the object to its new
template location.

The template page uses color to distinguish between "Label", "Field" and "Prompt" objects:

· Label objects are yellow , and contain titles that describe the type of information, often column
titles.
· Field objects are green , and contain fields associated with the SQL file's SIL fields that their data
comes from.
· Prompt objects are blue , and are the variables used in the report's SQL file to collect information
