Create ExportFormat-Parameters

When you print a report, you can specify the output settings in the Print Options dialog.

Alternatively, you can create ExportFormat parameters directly in Tosca Commander. The system automatically transfers them to your report.

To create an ExportFormat Parameter, follow the steps below:

  1. Right-click on Designer Definition, and select Create ExportFormat-Parameter from the mini toolbar.

    Tosca then creates an ExportFormatParam in the Properties pane.

  1. Navigate to the Properties pane and enter the name and value of the desired ExportFormat Parameter according to the table below.

    If you enter an invalid parameter name, the ExportFormat-Paramter icon will have a yellow exclamation mark:
