Column sets - overview

Column sets are used to define the set of columns to be used in a specific report or in a variety of reports having a common layout. When different reports use the same columns, you can create a single column set for them.

You can specify which columns will be displayed in the analytical report by creating a new column set, adding the columns to it, and including this column set in the report in the Report definitions (CS206000) window of the Visma Net Analytical report manager.

Each column set can be used in a specific analytical report or in a variety of analytical reports. Every report can be associated only with a single column set.

The column sets and their properties are defined in the Column sets (CS206020) window of the Analytical report manager.

Every column included in the column set has its set of attributes. The column attributes include the report layout and column printing style parameters, the data source specification for the column, and data transformation and calculation rules defined to display the calculated values in the column.

For more information about the column attributes, see Column attributes.
