Print templates

 

Central report directory

This directory contains your standard reports and all reports that you have created with the Fast Report Template Designer. Please note that the file names of the reports must begin with XT_BASE_ so that Xpert-Timer can offer them for selection in the drop-down menu.

If you customize your print template yourself, you should give it an individual name, e.g., XT_BASE_company name. Otherwise, your template may be overwritten during an update. However, a copy of the template is also saved in the "Backup -> Reports" folder during the update. You can therefore restore it at any time.

After installation, Xpert-Timer provides you with a number of print templates. You can modify these to a limited extent according to your requirements. In this tab, you already have the option of replacing your address with that of "Dieter Demo" and adding your logo.

Customize print template

To change the colors of the template, you must start the report generator.

To do this, click on the "Edit" field to the right of the template selection. This opens a report generator called FastReport, which you can use to customize only the graphic elements such as lines and backgrounds of the report. You can only influence the output data via the program by filtering the data accordingly and showing or hiding columns.

The colors must be customized via "Styles" in the "Report" menu. To do this, click on the menu item -> "Report" -> "Styles" in the FastReport Template Designer.

Here you can customize the color, font, and border of the respective area. Make sure to click on the green check mark to confirm after making your changes. Save the modified template under the same name or starting with XTBASE_ so that it appears in your drop-down selection list.
