Okay, we are back in this software training for the best press reporting and now we're gonna look for this cascading style chip.

A

So if you remember, we can make some customization about the report, basically using the toolbars, making ball italic, something like that, but we can have this cascading style chip. That is a very cool option. Okay, let's go okay! Here we have our reports.

A

And then we can continue with this. Okay. If I, if I want to apply his own cascading style c to my report, I have to create it. So if I go to prepper explorer, you see here, you remember the explorer.

A

Okay, we have these styles in the styles, we can add style or addictive style. We're gonna edit. This type a we have here, this button that we can load style from from a file. So when we make this style, we can just save it, and then we can load to have in the next four in the next before and all people we can use the same style.

A

This is good because we can just make this a a great addition. You know all the reports is gonna be like the same. um This is very cool. This is very cool. Also, I I love it. Okay, we're gonna, make this a control style. We can put a name a header style.

A

Sorry we cannot have space okay, heather style, so I will put in this style a a.

A

Blue foreign and I gonna put in this.

A

Maybe a phone, a different phone. Okay, then here I see.

A

This one I like this one: okay, we're gonna, make ball um 11., so I have now a header style. Okay, if you see, if you see here the preview, this is my header style. I can close it if you see in my style now I have this so if I want to apply this style to my header, I just have to select this a header, and I have this type here. If you see a I can just if I have some style, if you see I have this tie here, but a easy way to apply.

A

This is just to come here, just type and drag and drop the style in this guy.

A

You, you don't see the change because was a blue, but if I change to maybe to black that's right- um and we do this again- we come here and just drag and drop. I can do the style.

A

Let me see, let me see what I'm doing wrong.

A

I can't draw this type. Maybe I have to select. Let me see if I have to select.

A

Okay, if I have to select the error- because I I have done like this way.

A

Okay, let me let me see, let me see, I think I think I have something wrong, but this time I just oh, but here is the style. Okay, the style is applied. If you see um for the color is blue and everything, but I don't see, I don't see here the the change. Let me look at here.

A

If you see that the start the style is, is applied, but I don't see the change.

A

I don't know what happened with the visualization, but I think I see the style is applied like I do track and draw here. I just want to see. Maybe there is something that I have to change, but okay, but this style have to be have to be done like like. I do now or change it here, so I'm gonna make some other change. Like you see the power of this, uh this style, I'm gonna go here to the this detail. You remember this is the product detail.

A

I'm gonna check this style here you see, I I have this style, I open. If you see, I have a style for evening style and alt style. This is something good because you can change the style of the line. One line is going to be one color on the other line in other colors, so I gonna make a new here.

A

Indeed, news news type I just have to open and we're gonna make this uh back order, use backward. I'm not gonna change. Anything. We're gonna put this, but this this one. Let me see if I got this, why is throw okay for make a little change on that youtube? Okay, then we can just go to the preview hey submit and then we can go here to any of the. If you see one of them is why and one of the as something I I I forgot to say to you, that is very important.

A

When you create this detail, don't do like like me, you have to put together it's a good practice. You know to have together there. There are no no problem to do this. The problem is, if you go over the other one, but together you can. We can have together because when we, when we see here in the preview in the printer, if you see there are no line between okay, you see it's very nice and you can have this just applying this style to the line.

A

I like this, I like it. I like it so much so we can just see this information.

A

Okay, perfect! This is the style you see. We can create a all the style that we need a. If you see we have this style. I can edit- and I say this is for line line or detail style detail, it's a style.

A

So now we have every single details, the style we can say this and put some names styles.

A

For my reports,.

A

And then we can just give this to other computer or or another report just load the style.

A

You see load this time and you can have a all these, a the same, install for the same style for all records. So if you are a team and you're working in different computers and different reports, so you can create all the style in one computer create all the information and then you you can share with the team, and you say: okay, when you create a hill, you just apply the style in detail. You apply a detailed style and so on, grouping footer and everything everything you need to do. Okay.

A

So this is a good practice. um You can apply to any new reports that you are doing so that's it for a and then we can continue with the next chart.
