You can quickly apply the formatting from a report, table or cell to other reports, tables or cells using the Format Painter.
The formatting options applied depend on the objects you choose as the source and target. In general, only properties that affect the visual formatting (for example font style, background color) are applied. Properties that affect the display of data (for example, table properties such as "Avoid duplicate row aggregation" property) are not applied.
1. Select the report, table or cell whose formatting you want to apply.
2. Click
the Format Painter to apply the formatting once, or double-click to apply
the formatting multiple times.
The Format Painter is the button furthest to the right on the Formatting
toolbar.
3. Click
the report, table or cell to which you want to apply the formatting.
Web Intelligence applies the formatting to the report, table or cell you selected.
If you single-clicked the Format Painter, it is deactivated.
If you double-clicked the Format Painter, it remains activated.
4. If you double-clicked, click the Format Painter again or press Esc to cancel the formatting operation. (You can do this before applying the formatting for the first time if you decide to abandon the formatting operation.)
