Repor t designer
The Report designer software package enables the user to 
create report templates that best suit its needs.
Designing a report template consists of choosing the 
information to display in the report (e.g. header, footer, logo, 
patient information, images, measurements...etc.) and arrange 
it in the report viewer.
The Report designer function is based on the information 
container concept: each type of information is included within a 
container with parameters that can be configured (size, color, 
font properties, information to display...etc.).
Accessing the Repor t designer
1. Press REPORT on the Control panel.
The Report screen is displayed.
2. Press Designer in the Report screen.

template in the Report template design area (see Figure 9-
