Parameters palette

You can use the Parameters palette to customize the current report for your needs.

You can use the settings in the Allplan System Parameters area to change the entries in the report's header and footer. This data is automatically taken from Allplan's attributes such as Edited by, Date, Project name, Time or office details.

You can use the settings in the User Interaction area to hide the Logo, adjust page numbering or add text for the Note in the report's header.

You can control the contents of some reports. For example, you can hide graphics, format areas or group analyses according to criteria such as Text 1-3.

Note: The palette is only displayed when the report contains parameters that can be changed.
