Layout Options

Columnar

Columnar format is valid only for a report generated using Rich Text Format (RTF).

Side Labels
In side label format, the column headings for each row are listed down the left side of the report and the data displayed to the right of the headings. This format focuses on a single row and can often provide room for more columns in a row than the columnar format.
