Report Styling

Content

You are in: Db2 Web Query for i > Documentation > Report Styling

To create an effective report, you need to account for both the data and it's formatting.  The content should be presented to the reader in a way that is easy to navigate and interpret.  Styling with color, fonts, images, headers, footers, positioning, framing, and other visual detail  ensures your report will have maximum impact and professional appeal.      

There are many ways to style and format content using the various tools within Db2 Web Query.  Content can be a report, chart, document, dashboard, or an HTML page.  Using the report styling features within the development tools is always recommended.  InfoAssist is the content development tool included in all Web Query editions.  The Developer Workbench is an optional feature that provides an HTML canvas used to create HTML pages.  There are many report formatting and styling features within each of these.  However, if the GUI does not contain the feature for the exact styling you desire, you can use a style sheet. 

The attached document covers all aspects of report styling with a style sheet and answers some of the following commonly asked questions: 

  • What kinds of formatting can I do?
  • What is a Web Query style sheet?
  • What are best practices when working with style sheets or images?  
  • How can I access images that I may want to use in my content?
