Inserting data fields into a report
With numerical data fields, the attribute for the number of decimals to be displayed must be set manually by the user, using the Crystal Reports® format editor.
If you are using a version of Crystal Reports earlier than version 9 or higher than or equal to 2008, the display attribute for DATE and TIME types must be set manually by the user, using the Crystal Reports format editor.
Adelia edit words are not supported. The user can manage this type of information either using the Crystal Reports format editor or using formulas.
Edit codes can be applied at the user's request, using the Modify report XXX dialog box. You can generate a field format that corresponds to an edit code (using the Apply the edit codes option in the context-sensitive menu for the tree view), either for a specific property or for all the properties of an entity.
If a data field's type has been changed, the effects of the change can be passed on in three ways:
- Using cross-references (Analyze the use of a logical property in programs or Apply modifications to a program).
- By returning to the Crystal Reports Designer; the interface is then regenerated and the fields automatically updated.
