Format Codes

Within Mondial CRx, users can define Format Codes that work in conjunction with Row Formats.

A format code is simply an expression of the way in which an individual row within a row format will be displayed when a report is run. A format code can affect:

• Font Size
• Font Color
• Background Color
• Line Color
• Bold or standard display
• Underlining type
• Line through

 A Format code is given a name and any of the attributes above can then be applied to the code.

From the Report Writer menu on the Mondial CRx home screen select Format Codes

Selecting this option will provide a list of defined format codes.

To add a new Format Code select the add button at the top right of the screen.

To display/edit an existing code, select the edit symbol in the Action column to the right of the relevant code.

For the purposes of this guide, the screen below displays the attributes for the code “Detail 1”.
