Service Details Page Design Tab

The Page Design page appears when you create a new report or modify an existing report. Use the options on the Page Design page to customize the page formatting for your Service Details report.

Page Layout Options

Page size

Use the dropdown list to choose the paper size for this report. The default page size is "Letter."

Margin width

Enter the size (in inches) of the margin you want to appear around the edge of the page. The default margin width is one half inch (0.5 inches).

Page orientation

Choose the way you would like the pages of the report to be oriented, portrait or landscape.

Fit to page

When you check Fit to page Volgistics will attempt to fit all of your report onto a single page across. Reports will still extend to additional pages if Volgistics cannot fit all of the report content onto a single page using the smallest legible font.

Title and Logo Options

First and Second title line

Type what you would like to appear for the report title. Report titles may be two lines long.

You can optionally choose to Insert the date range for the report in lieu of the second title line. When you choose this option Volgistics will insert the current date range for the report as the second title line. For example, if you run a service report for March 2022 Volgistics inserts "March 2022" as the second line of the report title, if you select this feature. This saves you from having to re-type the titles of reports you run periodically for different time period, such as monthly service reports.

The report title appears at the top of the first page, and at the top of subsequent pages if you selected page breaks for the report.

Add Site name

Check this checkbox if you want the Site name to appear as part of the report title when a Site-Level Operator or Multi-Site Level Operator runs a shared report. A shared report is a stock report, or a report created by the Headquarters Site for use by all Sites. When you check this box, report titles will include the name of the Site where the report was generated whenever the report is run by a Site-Level Operator or Multi-Site Level Operator. Do not check this box if you do not want shared reports which are run by Site-Level Operators or Multi-Site Level Operators to include the Site name.

This option only appears if you use the Site Level Access features.

Add Set name

If you run this report for different Sets of volunteers you can optionally make the name of the Set you're using appear in the report title by checking this checkbox. For example, if you're creating a 'name and address list' that you'll sometimes run for different Sets of volunteers and you check this checkbox, and then you run the report for a Set called "Auxiliary Volunteers," the words "Auxiliary Volunteers" will appear as part of the report title.

Do not check this checkbox if you never want Set names to appear as part of the report title when you run this report for specific Sets of volunteers.

Font Style and Size Options

Use the dropdown list to choose the name of the font you would like Volgistics to use for formatting the report title.

First title font size and Second title font size

The report title may include two lines of text, and each line may be formatted with a different font size. This enables you to have a larger main title, and smaller sub-title. Use the dropdown lists to choose the font size (in points) for the first and second title line lines.

Logo & title locations

Use the dropdown list to choose the way you would like to arrange your organization's logo and the report title at the top of the page.

You may include your organization's logo if you installed a logo graphic file in your Volgistics account setup.

Body font name and Body font size

Use the dropdown lists to choose the font style and font size (in points) for the text in the body of the report. The body of the report includes all of the report content except the report title.

If you also select Fit to page, Volgistics may adjust the size of the body font so the report will fit onto one page across.

Border and Index Options

Lines

Your report can include lines around the border of the report and between report columns. Lines often make column oriented reports easier to read. Choose On if you want this report to include lines, or Off if you prefer no lines. This option does not affect the content of the report except by adding or removing the line graphics.

Date and time printed

Choose On if you want this report to include the date and time the report was run in the lower left corner of each page. Choose Off if you prefer not to have the date and time included.

Page numbers

Choose On if you want page numbers included at the bottom of each page. Choose Off if you prefer not to have page numbers included.

Corner index

This option is only available for Volunteer Profile reports, so it will appear disabled here.

Complete Report

When you're finished choosing the page design options for your report click the Next button to continue to the next step if you're creating or modifying a custom report. If you're modifying a stock report, click the Save button to save your changes.
