Is there a way to format columns with shading or borders?  I am trying to make some columns on a report stand out.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks, Tracy

Hello Tracy,

In your Management Reporter Column Definitions area you can select the column and then choose the Fill Color option to add some background to your report.

Hi Tracy,

You can format the Column Definition just like you would in Excel.  In the screen shot below, I selected the whole column, and clicked on the ‘Fill Color’ button.  In the definition, only the top ‘cells’ of that column will actually be highlighted, but once you run the report the whole column will be highlighted.  If this toolbar isn’t visible, just go to View > Toolbars > Formatting 

Hope this helps!

Happy shading!

Hi Tracy.

You can add borders/boxes around report columns using the BXB and BXC Format Codes in the Row Definitions. Specify specific columns from the Column Definition in the Column Restrictions column.
