Set Up Report Styles
In the Report Styles window, you can create a new style that reports can appear in, or you can change an existing report style. The Report Styles window lets you format a number of report sections that appear on the report, such as report print date, company name, or report totals.
What report sections can I format?
Creating a new report style
- From the Reports & Forms menu, select Report Styles. Sage 50 displays the Report Styles window.

- If an existing style name appears in the Style field, select the New toolbar button to clear the field.
- In the Style field, enter a maximum 40-character name for the style you want to create.
- For each section that you want to appear in the report, select the Show check box. For example, if you want your company name to appear on the report, select the Show check box opposite Company Name. The report sections you can choose to either show or not are Company Name, Title 1, Title 2, and Filter Settings.
