Reports and forms

Opening a form in the Customize window

 

The Customize window displays the layout of the form you've selected for customization. Within the form layout area of the Customize window, you'll see the fields that will contain information on your printed form.

When the form is printed, data fields and columns will contain information from your Premier Accounting company file. Data fields and columns appear as empty boxes in the Customize window, and are positioned to show how they will be located on the printed form. Each data field and column on the form has a name that identifies the kind of data that the field will contain. In the Customize window, this name appears in brackets inside the field box.

Text fields are shown without surrounding boxes. Text fields are usually used as labels for data fields and columns on the printed form. In the Customize window, what you see in the text field is what actually prints on the form.

Warning:  Fields not entirely within the printable area of a form layout will not print

Tools in the Customize window

At the top of the Customize window, you'll find a toolbar that allows you to easily modify the appearance and content of your forms. By using the toolbar buttons available on the Customize window for every form in MYOB Premier Accounting, you can:

Depending on any settings or customizations you may have already saved, the Customize window may also display an alignment grid for use in positioning fields in the layout. If you have chosen a background graphic for the form, it will be displayed in the form layout.

Opening the Customize window

If you want to customize a form just before you print it, you can open it in the Customize window by clicking the Customize button on the Advanced Filters window. Use the features in the Setup menu to select a form for customization and save it for printing whenever you need it.
