Formatting a column
You can use Interactive Viewer to define new font properties and change text alignment for a selected report column, or for the report table. You can also specify these style properties for one column, and copy the style to other columns. You can highlight report data based on certain defined conditions and format data strings depending on the type of data in a column. For example, you can format data strings into currency, telephone number, postal code, date‑and‑time, or decimal formats.
