Specify section properties for printing a report

For each section, you can specify properties, including the size and the background colour.

  • Code and name
  • Background colour

    The background colour is applied to the entire section, unless you use changing colours for even and uneven sections.

  • Adapt the size to the contents

    Profit will enlarge or reduce the section when you generate the report, depending on the space that is necessary for displaying the data in the section.

  • Start a section on a new page or start a new page after the section
  • Restart the page numbering after the section

To specify the section properties:

  1. Right-click in the section.
  2. Click on: Section properties.

    The Keep on one page check box is selected. Because of that, Profit always displays the footer (including the totals) in its entirety. If the footer does not fit on the page, it is automatically moved to the next page.

  3. Specify the properties.
  4. Click on: OK.
