It was a Doc Lobster!

To get to the document setup page, just choose the report you'd like to Edit. In these examples, I'm using  Jesse's Custom Report, which is a direct copy of Message Schedule - Original

Here's where you can set up the basic structure of your report. There's lots of options here, which are detailed below:

  1. Name - How this report will appear in the Custom Reports section (detailed in Step 1)
  2. Data Type - Choose between Signs and Types. Signs will be used for your typical reports, whereas Types are used for Sign Counts, Sign Estimates, etc.
  3. Sorting Order - Choose how your report will be sorted. Note that this will also affect any Titles that you're using in your sub-headers (more details on that below)

  5. Unit - Choose between inches and centimetres. Note that this will affect items 8-17 on this page.
