Create a Page Layout Template
The following example offers a suggestion of how a report with the Page Layout presentation type might be used. The procedure steps are intended only to show you how to start creating the report. For more information about adding fields to a report document, see
Create Tabular Reports.
The Page Layout template contains only static fields. This template can be a repository for commonly used static fields (trim and images). These fields can be cut and pasted into other documents. A page layout template can also provide the static framework into which data can be embedded.
To create a page layout template
1. Set the desired properties in the Document Properties dialog.
2. In the Page Configuration box, click Page Layout.
3. Select a format.
4. Click OK.
OpenROAD Reporter displays Page 1/1 of the page layout template document.
5. Add the fields you want in the report by selecting Free Trim mode in the field palette.
6. Click in the work area and drag the cursor to draw a free trim field (rectangular area).
Continue adding (and grouping) fields until you have included all the information you want your report to contain.
